Next Halley’s Comet visit will be 2061. If I’m alive I’ll be 87 🤔 Who else watched it in 1986? I’m trying to make a list of historic events I’m very sure will happen in the future within my lifetime if I’m still alive, and this is literally the only thing I can think of.

I tried! Stood in my back yard with binoculars and a telescope night after night. Never managed to see it myself, but I wasn't the world's greatest 9-year-old astronomer, either.

Well, helps to have more experienced adults around. I was 12 and it was my first astronomy outing, but the older kids and teachers at the school astronomy club knew where to point the telescope etc.
