    On 9 December 2023, Halley’s Comet reached the farthest and slowest point in its orbit from the Sun when it was travelling at 0.91 km/s (2,000 mph) with respect to the Sun.

    Oh the disappointment the last one was… just a blob, like a small cloud. In contrast, the Tsuchinshan in 2024 was so much better to see.
