I am somewhat confused on Halley's reappearance. I watched as it became 
lower in the evening sky and eventually disappeared behind the sun. I
also understand that it will now be a morning object. What I need help
with is how it will again become an evening object without circling to 
the other side of the sun again. Is this due to it orbit crossing earth's
to the other side or what? Please clearify. 
Thanks.
