1986 में आज Halley’s Comet को हमारे सौर मंडल में आखिरी बार देखा गया था। ये तीसवीं बार था जब Halley’s comet को इस तरह से देखा गया था। अगली बार Halley’s Comet 2061 में देखा जा सकेगा। Halley’s ऐसा comet है जिसे हर 75-76 साल के बीच बिना telescope के भी आकाश में देखा जा सकता है। पिछले तीन दशकों में इस comet के दिखने के प्रमाण मौजूद हैं। ये इकलौता ऐसा comet है जो एक ही जीवनकाल में दो बार देखा जा सकता है।
