a comet that passes around earth every 76 years. It has gone by in 1835, 1910, 1986, and will return in 2061
The Orbit of Comet Halley is an elongate ellipse, yes, but it does not orbit earth - it orbits the sun.
Halleyâ??s Comet is a periodic comet and returns to earth at roughly every 75 years as predicted by Edmond Halley. Who happened to notice the pattern but was unable to see its return in 1758. In 1910 the comet was especially fantastic, having passed Earth by at about 13.9 million miles, and was photographed for the first time. The return of the comet in 1986 was met by a number of nationâ??s satellites. This fleet of spaceships is sometimes dubbed the "Halley Armada." But was only a spec on the horizon for most of the Earths telescopes as it passed on the other side of the sun opposite Earth at the time.
It can be seen every 75-76 years. The next predicted perihelion of Halley's Comet will be 28 July 2061.
You can't see Halley's Comet at any time of the year now. It was last seen from Earth in 1986 and won't be seen from Earth again until 2061. It orbits the Solar System, taking about 75 to 76 years to do so, so it can only be seen about that often from Earth.
No it didn't, it will return!

2061
Around the earth and past the sun.
In the year 2061 it is scheduled to pass by earth.

We expect the only Halley's Comet there is to return to the inner solar system in 2061. That means it'll get close enough to the sun so that we can see it, but we can't tell yet exactly how close to earth it's likely to get.
Probably around the year 2060, depending on how good our telescopes are by then.
Return to Earth was created in 2006.
The answer depends on what part of the earth you are on.
