The Bayeux Tapestry
#1 it’s not a tapestry*
#2 it wasn’t made in Bayeux The 230 foot long “storyboard” of the famous Battle of Hastings in 1066 is not mentioned in any historical records until 400 years after it was made (shortly after the battle) when it is listed in a 1476 inventory of Bayeux Cathedral in France, but it was probably made in Canterbury, England, by Anglo-Saxon women who were renowned for the quality of their work
#3 the comet shown in one of the panels is in fact Halley’s Comet, a periodic comet predicted by Edmund Halley (using Newton’s laws of gravity) to return in 1758, which it did. Sadly, he never saw it (he died in 1742) but he did get the honour of the most famous comet in history being named after him
