Halley's Comet Visible to Naked Eye This Season
Halley's comet may be seen with the naked eye this season as sky watchers anticipate its bright passage. Astronomers note its return brings a rare celestial display. Observers in cities and rural areas alike could witness its tail and steady glow.
Comet Near Miss May Pass Between Earth and Sun
Notes from Lick Observatory director Mr Campbell indicate the comet will be visible around April 8 with the head and possibly part of the tail. On May 18 it will pass 14 million miles from Earth between Sun and planet, with the tail extremely attenuated and safe for life, though sun glare limits observation.
