S2CID 33251962. I think Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049) is a perfect director to adapt 2061: Odyssey Three, the sequel to 2010. Halley's Comet, Comet Halley, or sometimes simply Halley, officially designated 1P/Halley, is a short-period comet visible from Earth every 75–79 years. [1] Halley is the only known short-period comet that is regularly visible to the naked eye from Earth, and thus the only naked-eye comet that can appear twice in a human lifetime. [15] It last appeared in the inner parts of the Solar System in 1986 and will next appear in mid-2061. The people believe that it indicates calamity such as war, fire, pestilence, and a change of dynasty. In some places on certain days the doors were unopened for half a day, no water was carried and many did not even drink water as it was rumoured that pestilential vapour was being poured down upon the earth from the comet." [107] Western tradition has often advanced the premise that "the truth shall make you free." American culture has long valued "freedom of the press." Who are the writers and journalists in 2061? Do they work to discover "truth" that leads to some improvement in, or maintenance of, "freedom" for their society?

Retrieved 1 October 2017.For soft Brexit, we took the long-term assumption for net international migration in the national population projections of the Office for National Statistics, based on the population at the end of June 2014. Our model assumed that the free movement of EU citizens would continue, but that a combination of factors would make the UK less attractive to migrants. Under this scenario, the UK population would continue to grow, but at a slower rate than the no Brexit scenario, and by 2061 the total population is projected to be 82.9m. But, in the short term the Federal Reserve is in play still and is playing hard. So it might be wise to wait and get paid somewhat lower yields with less risk, or by still owning short-dated inflation-linked bonds to receive the inflation that is higher than we thought it was going to be just a few months ago.” According to biographer Albert Bigelow Paine, the writer Mark Twain said in 1909, "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it." Twain died on April 21, 1910, one day after perihelion, when the comet emerged from the far side of the sun. Halley-like comets The next perihelion of Halley's Comet is 28 July 2061, [4] [5] when it will be better positioned for observation than during the 1985–1986 apparition, as it will be on the same side of the Sun as Earth. [38] The closest approach to Earth will be one day after perihelion. [7] It is expected to have an apparent magnitude of −0.3, compared with only +2.1 for the 1986 apparition. [135] On 9 September 2060, Halley will pass within 0.98au (147,000,000km) of Jupiter, and then on 20 August 2061 will pass within 0.0543au (8,120,000km) of Venus.

One that reached major newspapers claimed that the Sacred Followers, a supposed Oklahoma religious group, attempted to sacrifice a virgin to ward off the impending disaster, but were stopped by the police.

Bibcode: 1897Obs....20..203R.Astronomy began changing swiftly around Shakespeare's time, however. Many astronomers of his time believed that Earth was the center of the solar system, but Nicolaus Copernicus— who died about 20 years before Shakespeare's birth — published findings showing that the center was actually the sun. The Leonov Crew: It is established very early on that all of the Leonov crew of 2010 have since died, with the lone exceptions of Floyd and Zenia Marchenko, the latter not otherwise figuring in the present story. In particular, it is revealed that Dr. Chandra died in hibernation during the Leonov's return trip, which is attributed to his sadness at losing HAL.

The 374AD and 607 approaches each came within 0.09 au of Earth. [65] The 451AD apparition was said to herald the defeat of Attila the Hun at the Battle of Chalons. [72] The 684AD apparition was recorded in Europe in one of the sources used by the compiler of the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicles, which contains an image 8 centuries after the event. [73] Chinese records also report it as the "broom star". [74] [26] In 837, Halley's Comet may have passed as close as 0.03au (3.2million miles; 5.1million kilometres) from Earth, by far its closest approach. [75] [65] Its tail may have stretched 60 degrees across the sky. It was recorded by astronomers in China, Japan, Germany, the Byzantine Empire, and the Middle East; [64] Emperor Louis the Pious observed this appearance and devoted himself to prayer and penance, fearing that "by this token a change in the realm and the death of a prince are made known." [76] In 912, Halley is recorded in the Annals of Ulster, which state "A dark and rainy year. A comet appeared."
