Who was born during halleys comet was in the sky and died 75 years later?

The American humorist, author and Mississippi riverboat pilot Samuel Langhorn Clemens, who wrote under the pen name "Mark Twain", was born two weeks after Halley's Comet made its closest approach to the Earth in 1835. Clements wrote, near the end of his life, "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, 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.' "


Did Haley's comet come the same day as Mark Twain was born then again the day he died as claimed in a movie about him?

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.


When does Haley's comet come around?

Every 75 years and a few months. Last seen in 1986 the next sighting will be 2061.

How far is Halleys comet from the sun?

A comet's orbit around the Sun is pretty predictable, but its appearance depends on the structure of the ice and rocks below the surface, and we do not know these things. As the ice begins to melt, the structure of the comet and the distribution of frozen gasses can cause the comet to appear a little different each day.

Meteors appear to come in showers. This is because most are born from comets and as the comet travels, it throws off pieces of rock, which then fall toward Earth, similar to the way water falls in the shower.
