Halley's comet at aphelion

I remember its last perihelion, in 1986. Big disappointment - it wasn't visible to the naked eye. The only comet I've seen was Hale-Bopp, which was clearly visible low in the North-Eastern sky for a week or two in the early morning in 1997.

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

We should be treated to "a spectacular close-up in 2061"  Damn, pretty sure I will be stone dead by then  >:(

No doubt SfG will still be going strong, however
