The Bayeux Tapestry has an image of the October 1066 visit of Halley’s Comet on it because it appeared and was credited for William the Conqueror’s victory at the Battle of Hastings; but the tapestry is not considered a meaningful reference about the comet itself other than to verify the date that it appeared.

This is Art that features something about the sky, but it is certainly not “Astonomy”. With all of the possible images to choose from just Hubble, it’s inexplicable why NASA chooses pics like this one.

It was probably picked by Michele Obama so she could win an art award.
