Marvellous Flier! And does it for love!

EDITORS COMMENTS
exclaimed the awestruck aviator, Leonard Raven-Hill, gazing up at the night sky in May 1910. The remarkable sight before him was none other than the legendary Halley's Comet, making its grand appearance after a predictable 76-year orbit. The comet, with its radiant arc of light and distinctive tail, cut through the inky blackness, casting an ethereal glow across the heavens. Its ethereal beauty was a testament to the enduring fascination that comets hold for humanity, representing a rare and captivating intersection of science and wonder. As the aviator stood there, transfixed by the celestial phenomenon, he couldn't help but be reminded of the intrepid spirit of the great amateurs who had come before him, who had dedicated their lives to studying the skies and unraveling the mysteries of the universe. The comet's next predicted perihelion, the point in its orbit when it is closest to the sun, was set for 28 July 2061. But for Leonard and countless others, the memory of this breathtaking encounter with Halley's Comet in 1910 would remain etched in their minds forever. This evocative image, captured by the pen of a Punch Magazine cartoonist, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of comets and the human spirit's insatiable curiosity. The arc of light, the tail of gas and dust, and the vast expanse of the night sky all come together in a stunning tableau of cosmic beauty and wonder. So, let us take a moment to marvel at the marvelous flyer, Halley's Comet, as it gracefully crosses the heavens, reminding us of the boundless wonders that await us in the vast expanse of the universe.
