Eclipses happen on schedule; they are very predictable. (NASA has a 5,000 year map of all eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000AD.)

Comets? Not so much. Even comets whose orbits are pretty-well known sometimes appear months early or late, and some expected comets never re-appear, having disintegrated into dust during their previous pass by the Sun.

And new comets are discovered every month. Hundreds of amateur comet hunters watch the skies nightly from their backyard observatories, hoping to be the first to discover a new comet. Many succeed.

We won't know about a new comet - until it is discovered.

What changes will be visible in Comet Halley on its next pass near the sun in 2061?

We don't have a clue. That's why we do research; to learn things that we didn't know. We usually don't know what the result will be before we look. And predicting comet appearances is tough! We _expect_ that people will have a much better view of Halley's Comet next time, because the last pass was on the other side of the solar system from Earth; next time it ought to be closer. Ask this question in 2061.
