Happy Halley's Comet aphelion! This seems worthy of solar punk appreciation. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Except Halley's Comet's aphelion is on December 9, 2023.

Except your comment and the post seem to exist in different frames of reference.

The title of the post incorrectly states that the comet would be at its aphelion (point of the orbit farthest from the Sun) today. Then it proceeds to talk about the comet being farthest from the Earth today. Two different claims, of which at least the former is wrong.

Edit: Both are wrong. Checked stellarium and the comet was farthest from Earth in June.
