I've been looking
for a spot to place a cache and couldn't believe that this spot was
open! Should be a quick park-n-grab.
This place is REAL busy at times so make
sure to use your best geo-stealth. The name of this cache should
become obvious if you look around a little! Now for some much
anticipated Halley's Comet information!
Halley's comet is named after Edmond G. Halley who was the
first to suggest that comets were natural phenomena of the solar
system, in orbit around the Sun. He suggested that a certain comet
was a regular visitor, returning every 76 years, and was, in fact,
the same one which had been observed
since 240 BC, but in particular in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682,
dates which for him were recent history. In 1682 he predicted the comet would return again in
1758, and sure enough, the comet arrived in March 1759. Halley's
comet made a particularly bright
appearance in 1910. It also was recorded
in a famous ancient tapestry after its 1066 appearance.
Halley's comet is next scheduled to return in 2062.
