These images show Comet Halley as it was photographed on various dates in 1910 from Diamond Head, Hawaii, by Ferdinand Ellerman. The points or short streaks are background stars. During its current apparition, the comet is the subject of the International Halley Watch (IHW), a worldwide observation effort by professional and amateur astronomers. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is the Western Hemisphere lead center for the IHW. (Courtesy of Mount Wilson and Las Campanas Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.) (Note to editors: "Halley" rhymes with "valley.")
