Variations in the orbit of comets in the outer solar system can cause periodic comets to appear earlier or later than anticipated. We expect Halley's Comet to appear again in 2061. I don't believe that it would be accurate to narrow it down much further.
Further, the telescopes of 2060 are likely to be orders of magnitude better than the current Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes. It is possible that astronomers 50 years from now will be able to detect the comet well in advance of it becoming a naked-eye object.

∙ 14y agoHalley's Comet, the best-known short period comet, returns to the inner solar system every 76 years or so. We aren't yet able to predict to the month when that will happen, and gravitational interactions with the outer planets sometimes alters the orbits of comets.

When are the next falling stars due?
"Falling Stars" can happen at ANY time; including right now. There are several "meteor showers", which do happen on regular dates. They are named for the constellation from which they appear to originate. Meteor showers occur whenever the Earth passes through, or near, the path of an old comet. It is likely that the meteors we see are ancient comet dust striking the Earth. The next is apparently the Lyrids, on April 20.

Is halleys comet is a periodic comet?
Halley's Comet is a Short Period Comet. It is actually the brightest known short period comet, one of the main reasons for it's popularity. It is visible from Earth once every 75–76 years. The last being in 1986 and the next being in 2061.
In what year was the last time halleys comet was 10 miles above the earth?
Halley's Comet has never been 10 miles above Earth. It is always millions of miles from us, even when closest to us. It was last visible from Earth in 1986. It will next be visible in 2061.
When is halleys comet coming again?
It can be seen every 75-76 years. The next predicted perihelion of Halley's Comet will be 28 July 2061.
What is the major difference between Comet Hyakutake and Halleys comet?
Halley's Comet was a periodic comet; it returns to the inner system every 76 years. Hale-Bopp is a very long-period comet; it may have been last seen in 2215 BC. That may have been Hale-Bopp's first approach to the Sun; its orbit was likely altered by close brushes with Jupiter then, and again during its last pass in 1997. Hale-Bopp's next appearance may be in or around the year 4530 AD.
When was halleys comet last visible?
