Scientific paper

The interaction between Comet Halley and solar wind is examined using in situ data collected in 1986, computer modeling, and data from 1910, when the earth passed through the comet's tail. An overview of the nature of comets is given, presenting specific physical processes occurring in comets. The range of scientific tools and data available for studying comets is discussed. Data from observation of the comet are compared to expectations from theory and computer modeling. The data from 1910 show that the cometary tail was well developed 24 million km downstream from the nucleus with a wake about 6 million km wide.
