Depends on "why" they were chosen. If you want to base it on actually teaching something useful... some were definitely bad. However, if you base it on teaching some life lessons for Harry and monitor how the experiences change him. Believe most choices make for a compelling movie... err, mean a good story... and a far better way to learn and teach students about real world things that the standard curriculum wouldn't handle.

1986 was the last Halleys comet, and it won't be back until 2061. So, while this is a very popular name thrown around. Most younger adults have never even seen it!

Might see if these help ring a bell for you

  • 1997 - hale-bopp
  • 1996 - comet Hyakutake
  • 1994 - Shoemaker (struck Jupiter - too old here)

It would be interesting to arbitrarily place it at the end of the known universe, and document what's seen from there. Would it mirror our existing views, or maybe provide an unimaginably different perspective?
