Was Albert Einstein born and did he die the day hallies comet was seen?

No. Halley's Comet is visible for several days when it does appear- about every 75 years. But Einstein was born about 39 years after the visit of the comet- and died 31 years before it's return. However, Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) was born the year of the appearance of the comet, and was convinced he would die at its return.


Why did the English think comets were bad luck and the French thought it was good luck?

At early times many people believed that comets were fireballs sent from demon's or gods to destroy earth.There was also a legend that every time a comet was seen a king would die.Thats right. The English believed that Comet-seeing would bring them bad luck, and each king would die had they seen A Comet.But um... I kinda lol @ them... Comets are harmless... Only comprised of Dust, Gas and the Head ( Nucleus)That guy up there above me with the lol is VERY stupid. First of all theEnglish thought they were bad luck because everytime someone dies or something a comet passes by. And comet AREN'T harmless, they can be HARMFUL to us human in Earth, because a comet hit Jupiter and made a gas cloud as the size of Earth.

When will Hailey's comet return?

Halley's Comet's last appearance was in 1986, and its average period of revolution around the Sun is 76 years. But it turns out that the gravitational pull of the giant planets creates variations in that period of up to a few years (so the time between successive appearances isn't always exactly 76 years). Its next appearance should be in 2061.
