The Universe in the Classroom: The Return of Halley's Comet
The Universe in the Classroom: The Return of Halley's Comet
Description:
On February 9, 1986, the most famous comet of all time will make the closest approach to the Sun in its current 76-year trip around our star. For a few months, before and after that date, the comet will be visible from our vantage point on the Earth — but, alas, not as well as it was in 1910. We begin the inaugural issue of The Universe in the Classroom with an in-depth look at Comet Halley (pronounced to rhyme with "Sally'') and its upcoming "not-so-close encounter'' with the Earth.
