Halley in 3D — live position and orbit

The most famous comet, visible from Earth about every 76 years, with its next return in 2061. It orbits backwards, against the flow of the planets.

Halley is shown at its real position, computed from NASA/JPL ephemeris data. The view opens on Halley; you can travel in time, switch between the educational overview and the true-scale voyage, and compare it with every other body of the solar system.
