Halley's Comet, Mahaica Creek

A comet is a solid mass in outerspace that is made up of ice and when it passes close enough to the sun gives off gases to form the distinctive head and tail shape. Halley's comet is one of the most famous with a re-visit period of 75 years. In 1912, Halley's comet was photographed at Mahaica Creek and the image is shown below.
