It is worth mentioning that Halley’s Comet was last seen from Earth in 1986 and will return in 2061 on its regular 76-year journey around the Sun.
However, observers have also reported a different phenomenon, known as persistent trains. As Comet Halley meteoroids streak through the air at 240,000 km/h, we see the typical meteor flashes.
(Halley’s comet was last seen in 1986 and won’t come around again until 2061.) When comets pass by the sun, the dust they emit eventually creates a “dusty trail” around their orbits.

While the Eta Aqarids originate from Halley’s Comet, don’t expect to see it in 2025. Halley has a 76-year orbital path and while it’s making its journey back to Earth, its ETA is 2061.
Halley’s Comet travels around the sun roughly every 76 years. It’s expected to be seen again from Earth in 2061.
The comet was last seen in Earth's skies in 1986, Halley’s orbit period is on average, 76 Earth years. This corresponds to an orbital circumference around the Sun of about 7.6 billion miles (12. ...
