December Ninth Comet Halley, officially known as 1p/Halley, began its way from the far end of its orbit back to the sun. This space object is of particular interest, since its appearance in the sky always attracts the attention of astronomers and amateurs of astronomy.
Comet 1p/Halley moves around the sun in flattened elliptical orbit. It should be noted that the comet will pass the land on June 19, 2061. This time it will be able to observe the inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere, who promises to become a spectacular in the morning sky.
The ninth of December 2023 of the comet reached an aphelia, the far end of its orbit, at a distance of 5.26 billion kilometers from the sun. According to the second law of Kepler, the heavenly body moves the fastest when it is in perigelia, and the slowest - in aphelia. After reaching the aphelia, the orbital velocity of Galley's comet begins to increase, heading towards the sun.
Scientists note that the year 2061 will become special, since the comet will be on the same side relative to the sun as the Earth. This makes it visible to observation and will lead to at least ten different appearance than the previous passage in 1986.
