DrowsyPegasus96036, you are right. Samuel Clemens was his real name. He quoted that he came in this world with the comet and he shall leave with it as well. I believe he passed the day after or before it's passing.

according to the math it could also make its appearance in 2061 since it's either 75 or 76 years when it comes back around and I'll be nearly 100 either way if it comes in 2061 or 2062

Every 76 years like clock work. Samuel Clemens was born and died with the comet.

I saw it in 1986 and will be 104 when it comes around again in 2061, so most likely will be pushing up daisies by then.

Google says that Haley's Comet will next appear in mid-2061 based on it's heavenly appearance in 1986. We may be looking at a discrepancy in calculating an exact calendar year🤔

I actually saw Haleys back in 1986. It was hard to see with your eyes but we did glimpse it. We were viewing it from the continental divide west of Denver Colorado. We began tracking it in 1982 so you could imagine our disappointment when it was hard to observe in 1986. Ad Astra!
