Mark Twain

The great writer Mark Twain was born on 30th November 1835, the same year when Halley’s Comet passed by the Earth. It is said that the comet passes every 75 years by the earth. Twain wrote in his autobiography, “I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: “Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.” And indeed, he died of a heart attack on 21st April 1910.
