    Eclipses might be a dime-a-dozen, but Halley’s Comet doesn’t mess around. My grandad saw it twice. I hope to, too. It comes once every 75 years. The last time was 1986. The next is 2061. If you were born today, you’d have to live to be 112 years-old to see it a second time.

      I was 6 the last time Halley’s Comet swung through. I’m honestly hoping to see it three times.

      Hmm, it’s possible I will never have been around when it has passed earth. I’m healthy, but life is harsh.

        Yeah, this is all provided the atmosphere remains transparent to the human eye in any case.
