I think that he is often associated with Halley's Comet because he was born during a visit from the comet and he predicted that he would "go out with it" as well. As predicted, he died the day following the comet's subsequent return.
Not sure if it was the first time the comet was known as Hayley's Comet but he was born during it's appearance. Mark Twain sad he would not die until he saw it again, he died the day after its next appeared.
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.
He was born and died while Halley's Comet was passing by.
It is believed that Mark Twain (aka Samuel Clemens) was born the same month as the passing of Halley's comet in November 1835. Halley's Comet passed on November 10th 1835 and Twain was born November 30th 1835. Twain vowed he would "go out"with the passing of the comet, as it passes in 75 year cycles. Halley's comet passed again April 20th 1910, Twain passed April 21st 1910.
Halley's comet appeared on that day.
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."
Twain said "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year (1910), and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.'"
Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain
Samuel Langhorne Clemens or Mark twain was born on November 30, 1835 just after the Halley's comet visit. The comet return on April 20, 1910 and on April 21, 1910, Mark Twain died.
Mark Twain was born in 1835 during the transit of Haley's Comet. He predicted that as he had come into the world on the comment, that would be the way he would leave it. He died one day after comet's transit in 1910.
No. Comets don't happen on a date, or in a week; they are visible for several weeks, or for months. Halley's Comet was visible for weeks before its perihelion on November 16, 1835; Samuel Clemens (whose pen name was Mark Twain) was born on November 30. The comet's next perihelion on April 20, 1910 does match, with remarkable closeness, Twain's death the next day.
The famous writer Mark Twain- Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in the year of Halley"s appearance and died, also in the year of it"s appearance in l9l0. No major world crisis was ( Keyed) to the Comet, the Titanic disaster came in 4.l4-l5.l2 two years down the pike.
