...even impossible, at least until mid-December. Halley's, now some 65 million miles from earth, can be seen, however, with a little help from a air pair of good binoculars (recommended power: 7 x 50), assuming the observer finds a location free of city light, air pollution and overcast skies. Viewing will become increasingly difficult as the moon waxes (next full moon: Nov. 27), then will become better again early in December.
