Dust from P/Halley was detected by the Giotto and Vega spacecraft in mid March 1986 and can also be observed from Earth every May and October in the form of the Eta Aquarid and Orionid meteor showers. Unfortunately, the two techniques measure dust in dramatically different places (with respect to the parent comet) and over non-overlapping mass ranges. This paper compares and contrasts the fluxes and mass distribution indices obtained.
