HALLEY'S COMET
REHOBOTH BEACH MARCH
1986
More than 200 people with
maps, binoculars, telescopes, gathered on the Rehoboth Beach
boardwalk Sunday , March
23, 1986, at a predawn hour, hoping to catch a glimpse
of Halley's Comet.
After two hours in the freezing weather many watcher were
disappointed. “We saw
it, but it;s not very spectacular”.
Halley's was first spotted
about 3:30 am and lasted over two hours. The two hour show
of the every 76 year white
dot in the sky was over.
Thanks to Delmarva Power
for turning off the bright boardwalk lights for the
occasion.
