Step 1 : Introduction to the question "In what year will Halley's comet be visible again in the night sky?"
...Halley's comet is probably a name most recognize. It is classified as a "periodic" comet, meaning it swings by Earth's vicinity on a regular schedule. It can be seen in the night sky every 75 years, give or take a month or two. It last lit the sky in 1986, making its projected return sometime in 2061. Historical records showed the comet making an appearance in 1531, 1607 and 1682. English astronomer Edmond Halley figured out that these appearances were the same comet and correctly predicted the comet's return in 1758. Source: Space.com
