The most predictable and famous comet in our part of the galaxy is one named after Edmond Halley in 1682 – after realising it had been the same comet that had been seen in 1607 and 1531. The comet has been seen since at least 240 BCE, but certainly since 87 BCE. It's sightings are 76 years apart and the last sighting was in 1985 / 1986.
