Presumed Observations From Space
- Any observations of Halley's Comet made by the crew of Soyuz T-15, which made the first trip to the Mir space station in March 1986, are unknown.
- Observations of Halley's Comet would have also been made by crews on-board Space Shuttle Challenger during missions STS-51-L and STS-61-E. STS-61-E was to carry the ASTRO-1 astronomy platform in its payload bay, but was cancelled after Challenger was destroyed in a launch accident at the beginning of STS-51-L.

Famous quotes containing the words presumed, observations and/or space:
“As kings are begotten and born like other men, it is to be presumed that they are of the human species; and perhaps, had they the same education, they might prove like other men. But, flattered from their cradles, their hearts are corrupted, and their heads are turned, so that they seem to be a species by themselves.... Flattery cannot be too strong for them; drunk with it from their infancy, like old drinkers, they require dreams.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“All observations point to the fact that the intellectual woman is masculinized; in her, warm, intuitive knowledge has yielded to cold unproductive thinking.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
“When my body leaves me
I’m lonesome for it.
but body
goes away to I don’t know where
and it’s lonesome to drift
above the space it
fills when it’s here.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
