Desiree listened as Professor Gert spoke again. The more she heard, the more confused she became. She couldn’t help but notice that the professor didn’t say anything about comets’ elliptical orbit paths. Did that mean she was wrong to think that was a difference between comets and meteors? She was glad she didn’t give that answer for the last question!
While she had no idea how to answer the last question, the mention of Halley’s comet reminded her of something relevant to this one. She remembered a long ago museum trip with her grandparents; there had been a tapestry depicting Halley’s comet. But what did the museum guide say about it? After several moments racking her brains, she tentatively raised her hand and said, “People once thought the 1066 appearance of Halley’s comet was a bad omen predicting the Norman conquest of England. The comet appears on a tapestry from that time period.”
Was that anywhere close to answering the question? She didn’t know, but she was slightly more confident than she was about the last one!
