Halley's comet

 

Halley's Comet or Comet Halley is the best-known of the short-period comets.

We can see it every 75 to 76 years. It is the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime.  

 

Halley returns into the inner solar system have been observed by astronomers

since at least 240 B.C. It was recorded by Chinese, Babylonian, and medieval European chroniclers, but were not recognized as reappearances of the same object.

Halley's Comet will next be appear in mid-2061.

        Halley would be composed of a mixture of volatile ices—such as water,carbon dioxide,ammonia—anddust. However, the missions also provided data which substantially reformed and reconfigured these ideas;for instance it is now understood that Halley's surface is largely composed of dusty, non-volatile materials, and that only a small portion of it is icy.
