Halley's Comet Returns: A Spectacular Celestial Event

Halley's comet, the most famous comet, has reached its farthest point from the sun and is now beginning its journey back. It will increase its orbital velocity on its return trip, but won't be visible to Earth until June 19, 2061, with its closest point to the sun on July 28 that year. The comet's orbit will favor watchers in the Northern Hemisphere, and it is expected to be at least 10 times brighter than its last appearance in 1986. However, the visibility of the comet will depend on future development and potential light pollution.
