Halley's Comet (catalog number 1P/Halley) is a periodic comet that orbits the Sun once every 76.1 years and is visible to the naked eye. Named after British physicist Edmund Halley (1656-1742) who first measured its orbital data and successfully predicted its return time. The orbital period of Halley's Comet is 76-79 years, and its next perihelion will be on July 28, 2061. Halley's Comet is the first recorded periodic comet in human history, dating back to at least 240 BC or 466 BC. There are clear records of this comet appearing in China, ancient Babylon, and medieval Europe.
