Halley’s Comet is named after Edmund Halley. He was an English astronomer. He lived inthe late 1600’s. He studied the stars. In 1682, he saw a beautiful comet. He then read books about
comets. The comet was seen in 1456, in 1531, and again in 1607. Halley said the comet would comeagain in 1759. It did! It was then named Halley’s Comet.
Comets travel around the sun, just like planets. Comets have strange paths. They gobillions of miles into space. Then they swing around and return. This is why it takes so long for
comets to return.
The center of a comet is not solid like the Earth’s center. A comet is something like a dirtysnowball. Its center is made of frozen gases and frozen water. It is mixed together with dust.
The center of the comet is its head. Steaming out from the head is a long, long tail. The tail iscalled the coma. Sometimes the tail covers millions of miles. Halley’s Comet has one tail. A
comet may have two, three, four, or five tails.
All the comets that we see are regular visitors to our solar system. Halley’s Comet isprobably the most wonderful of these because it is very bright. Also, it has a long tail. On a clear
night, one can see its tail stretched from one end of the sky to the other. Halley’s Comet visits about
every 76 to 79 years. Its most recent pass by the Earth was in 1986. For most of us, seeing
Halley’s Comet is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

A groundhog is a small animal that lives in the fields and woods. Sometimes it is called awoodchuck. The groundhog loves to dig holes. It digs a deep hole each fall. Then it crawls insideand hibernates, or takes a long winter’s sleep.
Groundhog Day is celebrated on February 2. Some say that on that day, the groundhogs awake
from their sleep. The first thing they do is to step outside their holes and look for their shadows. Ifthey see their shadows, spring will arrive early.
Of course this is just a story. The truth is, most groundhogs will sleep until March. They can’tchange the weather.
Many people have tried to predict the weather for a long time. Before science was understood,
people had some strange customs and beliefs. One belief said that if it rained on July 15, it would
rain for 40 days straight. Some thought that beans and potatoes should only be planted on a dark,
moonless night.
Most of these beliefs are gone now. But Groundhog Day is still observed, mostly for fun.
