1066, the comet was seen in England an omen Magnet

1066, the comet was seen in England an omen Magnet

In 1066, the comet was seen in England and thought to be an omen: later that year Harold II of England died at the Battle of Hastings; it was a bad omen for Harold, but a good omen for the man who defeated him, William the Conqueror. The comet is represented on the Bayeux Tapestry and described in the tituli as a star. Surviving accounts from the period describe it as appearing to be four times the size of Venus and shining with a light equal to a quarter of that of the Moon. Halley came within 0.10 AU of Earth at that time. Halley's returns to the inner Solar System have been observed and recorded by astronomers since at least 240 BC. Clear records of the comet's appearances were made by Chinese, Greeks, Babylonian, and medieval European chroniclers, but, at those times, were not recognized as reappearances of the same object. The comet's periodicity was first determined in 1705 by English astronomer Edmond Halley, after whom it is now named.

Instead of sending a Christmas card, our family creates a fridge magnet with Zazzle, and sends these to friends and family. These fun items live on the fridge for many years, and long outlast the poor Christmas card which ends up in the recycling with the wrapping paper on Boxing Day. The colours are vibrant, printing is clear. There are plenty of fonts and colours to choose from to create a personalized item.
