Halley’s Comet’s visit is a once-in-a-generation tradition that spans from a time before the dawn of humans. Halley’s return gives us a reason to look up and wonder about the universe’s mysteries, regardless of all the fears and uncertainties on our own planet. In 2061, Halley’s Comet will be returning to our skies. Will we push science to new heights and let this celestial body teach us about our surrounding universe? Or will we succumb to our own vices and conflicts and look up at Halley’s pale streak and wonder why we didn’t do more?
