Halley’s Comet, Or Why We Need Photographs (via Gizmodo)

Excerpt:

When Halley’s Comet blew through the neighborhood last, I was almost 10, and old enough to grasp the cosmic importance of seeing it with my own eyes.

Excerpt:

The year 2010 (not to be confused with the movie 2010 (1984)) is slowly, but surely becoming a reality. Everyday I hear of something scheduled to happen in 2010, and it adds a tiny bit of mass to the foggy concept in my mind of just what 2010 might be.
