I remember seeing pictures of Halley’s Comet growing up. It was depicted as this huge beautiful streak zooming across the sky. Then came 1986 and the actual appearance of this celestial phenomenon. All it was was a tiny blur barely visible to the naked eye. Major disappointment. Made me want to vomet.

I’m embarrassed to admit that when the first time I saw this comic, it was a ridiculously long time before I realized it was supposed to rhyme.

I watch it with the wife and kids.

Last time, Halley’s Comet came around Christmas. I had to drive down to the water to get away from the house lights.

But he loves to see a meteor shower; he can watch one for over an hour. And when he saw a lunar eclipse, it made him want to do back flips.

Halley’s comet always reminds me of the famous panel in the Bayeux Tapestry: “Isti mirant stella.”
