5. Mark Twain’s Halley’s Comet Connection
Mark Twain was born in 1835, the same year Halley’s Comet streaked across the sky, and he died in 1910 when the comet returned. Twain even predicted this uncanny link, famously saying he’d “go out with it.” The timing of his birth and death with the comet’s appearances remains a fascinating and poetic coincidence.
