Halley made his prediction in 1705, but it was the same coment in 12 BC whether it bore his name yet or not. The thing orbits the sun every 76 years.

Too bad the apparition of 1986 was so mediocre. You could barely see it.

Okay, Halley's comet was visible in 12BC, but even this year, two comets are making visible appearances.

Yeah, but there was Hale-Bopp(?) in 1997 that put on quite the show.
