Year is a big margin. For me to believe that space giveth and then taketh away…I need more granularity on departure time.
grand entry, grand exit
Halley’s Comet is visible for months at each visit. Were those dates the closest it was to Earth??
That’s the one guy from the TNG 2 parter episode.
Did he see it on the last day he lived? How’d he go?
Terrible author, tbh. Vastly overrated.
My great grandmother saw it in 1910 and I helped her see it again with binoculars in 1986. Doubt I’ll make it to 2061 though.
another coinsidance that is very 😱😱😱 for me is birth date of einstein and last day of S. hawking
The original John Stewart….
He came with a comet, and left with a comet. Legendary
Placebo effect is very powerful
