#PPOD: This is the approximately 15-by-8-kilometer nucleus of Halley's Comet, imaged by
ESA's Giotto spacecraft in March 1986 from about 2,000 km away. Comet 1P/Halley won't pass through the inner solar system again until 2061, which seems a lot closer now than back in 1986 after the last visit. Credit: ESA/MPS/Giotto/Jason Major
