The passage of Halley's Comet near Earth's orbit on February 9, 1986, became the first comet to be observed in detail by scientists.

Very first information such as the structure of the cometary nucleus and the mechanism of its formation, revolutionized the world of astronomy worldwide. The following are the covers of the New York Daily Tribune of 1910, and Time Magazine of 1986, give a deserved disclosure of this astronomical fact. Comet Halley was named in honor of the English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, Edmund Halley, for having calculated its orbit by passing through Earth in 1758. Halley had previously passed near the Blue Planet in 1910, and the comet's orbital period around the Sun is approximately 76 years, expected to pass near Earth again in the year 2061. In the following image, the orbit of Halley's Comet through time can be observed: The idea of ​​an armageddon product of the collision of an alien body like a comet has become conscious in the human race since then.
