For the first challenge at theiconthrone we had to come up with icons inspired by or based on the solar system which is a very broad topic and so both easy and overwhelming. I based all my subjects on descriptions of things I wiki’d relating to planets and constellations.

17. Hailey’s Comet - Eilmer of Malmesbury wrote of Haley’s Comet in 1066: "You’ve come, have you? … You’ve come, you source of tears to many mothers, you evil. I hate you! It is long since I saw you; but as I see you now you are much more terrible, for I see you brandishing the downfall of my country. I hate you!"
