Surprise

Imagine my surprise when I opened my inbox and found this article for me to read:

"Halley’s Comet was last spotted by the unaided human eye in 1986, and isn’t estimated to be visible again until 2026. For those who can’t wait another 17 years, the Ransom Center’s exhibition, Other Worlds: Rare Astronomical Works, offers visitors an early glimpse of Halley’s Comet, as rendered by Caroline Herschel in 1835–1836."
I saw the exhibit at HRC but I think I'll go back again and look at my comet sketches one more time. For anyone in the area, it's a great show and right next door is the Edgar Allen Poe exhibit which is worth checking out as well.
