Did you see Halley's Comet in 1985?

Will you see it when it comes back in 2061? It's outbound passing Jupiter now. Every 76 years - some say it was the Star of Bethlehem in 11 BC, the fourth recorded sighting.

Did you see Halley's Comet in 1985?
No I missed it... early bedtime... BUT I'll have my geriatric cronies amassed in some retirement home for the next one... I'll make popcorn and prunejuice... with a running play by play with a bullhorn for those with weaker eyes and ears... it'll be a hoot! ... lookin' forward to it.

hale-bop back in '92?
Reply:Yes I saw it. I was in school at the time it came around. I do hope to see it again
Reply:I don't think so..even if I did, I was too young to be able to remember it. I hope I see it in 2061.
Reply:Very faintly. even at age 12, I was disappointed. In retrospect I would have rather seen Frehley's Comet. :P





Hyakutake and (particularly) Hale-Bopp were much more visible and very impressive, in the 1990s.
Reply:I hope I'm dead by 2061. I don't remember seeing it in 1985, but I remember seeing other comets since then.
Reply:if i saw it in 85 i dont remember cuz i was 3. i somehow DO remember hearing about it on tv at that time...
Reply:um i wasnt born then, so no.

Reply:I was in high school when I saw it. I probably won't see it when it comes back, although if I get to live as long as my grandma then I will.
Reply:i will be about 91 when it is visible again....i missed it in '85


wasn't it visible in 1997, or maybe that was a diff. comet
Reply:I did see it in 85. My name is Hayley, so it was kinda a cool thing when I was little. Will I see it in 61? I sure hope I live that long!
Reply:yeah, I saw it. think I was 13 or so. wow your a lot older than me aren't you
Reply:I remember seeing it - I was in grade 2, and yes, I hope I can see it in 2061! Interesting fact!
Reply:Yes I saw Halley's Comet, so very cool. I'm 41 now so I don't think I will get to see it again :-(
Reply:No and I probably never will :(
