A Comet Captured on Film
By Jane Runyon |
|
1 The world was witness to a rare event in 1910. Halley's Comet was seen and photographed for the first time ever. Do you know the correct way to pronounce Halley? Today the preferred pronunciation rhymes with the word valley. A sometimes used pronunciation is "Hail-e." Halley's Comet has been making an appearance above earth for quite a long time. Chinese astronomers recorded sightings of the comet as early as 2467 B.C. They reported a bright light in the sky followed by a sparkling tail.
