Scientific paper

Using a simple model the motion of comet Halley is shown, both analytically and numerically, to be chaotic, and some of its statistical characteristics are presented. Estimates of the errors and limitation in numerical extrapolation of a chaotic trajectory are given. Dynamical restrictions of the comet's full sojourn time in the solar system, which crucially depends on weak nongravitational forces, are considered.
