Follow Halley's Comet (1P/Halley) on its 76-year retrograde journey across the Solar System. Trace its dramatic path from beyond Neptune's orbit back toward perihelion in 3D.

Simulate six famous short-period comets — including Encke, 67P, and Tempel 1 — as Jupiter's powerful gravitational tugs herd them through the inner Solar System in 3D.
