HALLEY’S COMET AT APHELION
By Adrian Bruno Sonka
.
The comet of December 2023 was 1P/Halley, and not because it can be seen, but because it is on the edge of its orbit.
From now on the comet begins its long journey towards the Sun and will reach the planet from which I am writing these lines by 2061.
With the instruments I am using now, the comet will become visible in December 2058, so I am waiting for you then with the first image.
Who is old and saw the comet in 1986 not to give a “like”.

DEFENSE OF A COMET
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
How dare you walk past me? -
said a proud planet
to a poor comet.
.
I'm not very good with orientation -
came the comet’s answer -
and I'm going crazy and fast,
maybe I'll be able to light
something through the void.
But because my legs are a bit sore,
I prefer to run
hand in hand with the Sun.
