Did a medieval flying monk spot Halley's comet, twice? It's complicated

Ars Technical All News | Score: 0.65 | neutral | Published: 12:02 Jun 14, 2026 (Eastern)

The article examines the historical timeline of Eilmer of Malmesbury, an 11th-century Benedictine monk known for his early attempt at human flight. Historians have traditionally used Eilmer’s account of seeing Halley's comet in 1066 to suggest he also witnessed the comet's 989 fly-by, implying a birth date around 984 and a flight attempt between 1000 and 1010. However, researcher James Aitcheson argues in the journal Notes and Queries that Eilmer may have actually observed the comet of 1018, which would shift his birth and flight attempt to later decades.
