If, through some miracle, on Halley was hidden the smallest of germs in the dirt and the snow if life could spring forth there (though we know that it didn't) what would it look like and how would we know? if it had eyes then what could it ponder? a fluorescent coma that lights up the skies; would the dance of the dust fill these creatures with wonder or the pitch black formations in the craters of ice? what would they feel like on a peanut shaped world as the pull of the giants tears it slowly apart? to have no control over where it is hurled though in time, they would find, it comes back to the start yes, within this idea is a certain romance though the impact of space draws its shapes in the dust if there's life on this comet, then it would have no chance as algae that is born there may fly off and combust once in a lifetime our old friend causes mirth for thousands of years we have made a big fuss so while beings on Halley may not think much of Earth life on that rock would mean far more to us 29.09.24
