Edmund Halley himself has not been seen since he was buried in the graveyard of the old church of St. Margaret, Lee, England.

The comet that bears his name, Halley's Comet, was last seen by the public in 1986. However, the comet was on the far side of the Sun, and very few people were able to see it at all.

Halley's Comet was last seen through the Very Large Telescope array at Paranal, Chile, in 2003. Halley's Comet will next appear in 2061, when it should be much more visible than it was in 1986, and the 2134 pass is expected to be VERY close to Earth. Too bad we won't be around to see it!
