概要
Good evening, stargazers! Today is February 8th, and we're celebrating one of the most delightfully dramatic events in modern astronomical history.
On this date in 1910, **Halley's Comet made one of its most anticipated returns**, reaching perihelion and becoming the subject of widespread public fascination, scientific study, and—let's be honest—quite a bit of panic!
Here's where it gets really fun: Earth actually passed *through* Halley's Comet's tail on May 19th that year, and people were absolutely *convinced* the world was about to end. Newspapers ran sensational headlines claiming the comet's cyanogen-laden tail would poison the atmosphere. Entrepreneurs seized the moment—literally selling "comet pills" and "comet insurance" to terrified citizens. Some folks even nailed their windows shut! The hysteria was real, folks.
But here's the beautiful part: nothing happened. We're all still here, and Halley's Comet became one of the most famous periodic comets ever documented, returning like clockwork every 75-76 years. The next time it graces our skies will be in 2061—mark your calendars!
