On the fringes of the disk, grains of dust coated with frozen gases and water began clumping together.
Over time, these clumps of dust assembled into ice-rich rocks, which then evolved into the mile-sized bodies that we can see today travelling among the planets.
Halley’s Comet named after Edmond Halley, who first discovered the comet, is the most famous comet. This is because its discovery marked the first time astronomers understood comets are regularly visible to the naked eye from Earth.
Halley’s Comet is visible from Earth every 75 to 76 years. It last appeared in the inner parts of the Solar System in 1986.
