Scientific paper

Artists' depictions of comets provide the only visual evidence of historical comets, most notably of Halley's comet. The authors discuss the visual evidence of comet Halley at several passages (684, 1066, 1145, 1222, 1301, 1456, 1531, 1682, 1759 and 1835) and compare these with descriptions and modern images. They also include their own images made with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Since it was first recognized that Giotto di Bondone painted a comet in place of the Star of Bethlehem and suggested that this was a portrait of the 1301 apparition of comet Halley.
