what happen in 1910 with comet Halley?

Question

Halley Comet

Answer 1

Halley's Comet appeared in the sky when Mark Twain was born in 1835.
The comet moves in a 75 or 76-year orbit, & as it neared Earth once again,
Twain said, "I came in with Halley's Comet... It is coming again ... and I expect to go out with it... The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.'

Sure enough, he died on April 21, 1910, just as the comet made its next pass within sight of Earth.

Answer 2

Halley Commet in 1910

The April 1910 approach was notable for several reasons: it was the first approach of which photographs exist, and the comet made a relatively close approach, making it a spectacular sight. Indeed, on May 18th, the comet transited the Sun's disk, and the Earth actually passed through its tail. At the time, the comet's tail was thought to contain poisonous cyanogen and gas. The popular media picked up this fact and, despite the pleas of astronomers, wove sensational tales of mass cyanide poisoning engulfing the planet. In reality, the gas is so diffuse that the world suffered no ill-effects from the passage through the tail.

Many people who claim to remember seeing the 1910 apparition are in fact remembering a different comet, the Great Daylight Comet of 1910, which surpassed Halley in brilliance and was actually visible in broad daylight for a short time about four months before Halley made its appearance.

Another person whose life coincided with arrivals of Halley's comet was French author Jean Genet; born in 1910, he died in 1986.

It passed by the earth as it will keep doing until something gets in its path.
