Meteors hit the earth every day. Fortunately, the vast majority of them are tiny and cause no significant damage. However, sooner or later (probably thousands or millions of years from now) a large meteor will hit the earth.
Edmund Halley did not invent anything, but he was a British astronomer known for calculating the orbit of the comet that now bears his name. Halley's Comet, which passes by Earth approximately every 75-76 years, was the first comet to be recognized as periodic.
Yes, Halley's comet orbits the Sun in an elongated elliptical orbit, which means it travels closer to the Sun and then swings far out into space before returning again on its approximately 76-year journey.
Comet 46P/Wirtanen is a short-period comet that orbits the Sun every 5.4 years, making it visible from Earth approximately every 11 years. It was last seen in 2018 and is expected to return in 2024.
No, it was last seen from Earth in 1986, 10 years before that, though it was observed in 2003 by what is known as the Very Large Telescope, which is a set of telescopes with great power, that are in Chile.
Halley's Comet is a famous periodic comet that is visible from Earth every 75-76 years. It is named after the astronomer Edmond Halley who successfully predicted its return. The last time Halley's Comet was visible from Earth was in 1986, and it will next be visible in 2061.

No it didn't, it will return!
Around the earth and past the sun.
In the year 2061 it is scheduled to pass by earth.
No. The only way a comet could cause a catastrophe would be if it collided with Earth. The orbit of Halley's Comet keeps it at a safe distance from us.

Probably around the year 2060, depending on how good our telescopes are by then.
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.
Halley's Comet is a well-known comet that orbits the Sun approximately every 76 years. It last appeared in 1986 and will next be visible from Earth in 2061.
