Heli is also called Helisha Comet. My bit, what I'm doing right now, is a appreciation of some Wikipedia articles. Sometimes I just love this... unsubstantial style when passionate fans write these articles on Wikipedia. Sometimes it's not quite what I'm looking for, but here it's just perfect. And the Halley comet is very bright. Do you know how often it comes back?

Next time he will be there in 2061. With a bit of luck. With a lot of luck. With a lot of luck we still have a little chance.

Oh no, wait, 1961. With luck. It was discovered by Edmond Halley. In these comets, what makes them hyper-objects is the time span. cave paintings. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating, but he finds old drawings from hundreds of years ago, where he has already been observed and painted.

Yes, lived in the 17th and 18th centuries, was then promoted to royal astronomer due to this achievement, to recognize the Halley comets as a comet and to predict its return. That was not so natural at the time. But somehow he found out that earlier reports somehow have to be the same thing and then calculated from that when he would come back. And that was right. But he didn't even notice that.

You can remember half of it? I have absolutely zero memory. I'm not sure.

I can remember a few years later the darkness of the sun. That was a big topic. I can still remember when I had a beginner computer science class in school and we had to do a kind of website or something like that.

Exactly, my topic was the darkness of the sun, because it was so interesting for me. We went out and looked. But this comet,
