Halley didn't exactly find the comet named after him; doing calculations on the basis of several observations, he calculated the orbit and predicted when the comet would return. This was confirmed - the comet returned - after his death.

halley's comet was discovered in 1705 by Edmond halley
The Halley's comet was named after Edmond Halley, the English astronomer who was the first to determine the comet's periodicity. He first sighted it in 1705.
Halley's Comet
That is Halley's comet, named after English astronomer Edmond Halley,
Halley's Comet actually comes around every year. Humans enjoy loooking at the beautiful light show. The reason why Halley's Comet is so famous is that light show was the first comet seen that was reecorded.
No you can not walk on Halley's Comet
We expect Halley's Comet in 2061.
In 1705 Halley determined the comet's periodicity, but he was not the first person to discover it.
God Created Halley's comet.
Mark Twain was born in 1835, the year when Halley's Comet made its closest approach to Earth. Twain famously predicted that he would not die until the next return of the comet. True to his prediction, Twain died in 1910, the year after Halley's Comet's next return.
No. For one thing, Halley's comet is a comet, not an asteroid. The largest asteroid is Ceres, which is far larger than Halley's comet.
At Mark Twain's birth in 1835, Halley's Comet was visible in the night sky. Interestingly, Twain passed away in 1910, the year Halley's Comet made its return, which he had predicted. This led to the popular saying, "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it."
