1P/Halley

1P/Halley, commonly known as Halley's Comet, is a famous periodic comet visible from Earth approximately every 76 years. It is a small, icy body that orbits the Sun, and when it gets close, the Sun’s heat causes its surface ice to vaporize, creating a glowing coma and a tail that points away from the Sun. Named after astronomer Edmond Halley, who predicted its return, Halley's Comet is a natural celestial visitor that offers a spectacular view during its appearances. Its predictable orbit makes it an important object of study for understanding comets and the solar system.
