Icon	Name	Description	Requires
	Retrograde Orbit	Halley’s Comet orbits the sun clockwise, opposite to the direction of the planets’ orbits. Because of that, it has a very high velocity relative to other celestial objects in the solar system.	Rank 10
	Short Orbit	Halley’s Comet is notable for its short orbital cycle. It’s the only known comet that can appear twice in a person’s lifetime, returning to Earth once every 74–79 years. Many comets take between 200 and a million years to orbit the Sun.	Rank 11

	Recurring Revelations	First-century astronomers in Mesopotamia spoke of a star that appeared every 70 years. If this was the same “star” that we know today as Halley’s Comet, then while we credit its discovery to Edmond Halley, it was originally observed much earlier.	Halley's Comet Rank 5
	Kings and Comets	Halley’s Comet was seen in England in 1066, an event recorded in the Bayeux Tapestry. It was thought to foreshadow great change. Indeed, that year King Harold II was defeated in battle and William the Conqueror became ruler of England.	Halley's Comet Rank 8
