Halley’s comet was spotted by ancient Greeks
The ancient Greeks probably saw Halley’s comet streak past in 466 B.C., pushing the earliest documented observation of the comet back by more than 200 years, a new study has found.
And a meteorite struck northern Greece while the comet was burning in the sky, shaking up the ancients’ understanding of the cosmos, the research shows.
