Thanks @albertcardona for sharing this! I wasn’t aware of the #BayeuxTapestry at all, nor that #Halley’s #Comet played such a prominent role in #MedievalArt and perception. A fascinating story! https://mathstodon.xyz/@albertcardona/115992114758518351

The UK Treasury is set to insure the Bayeux Tapestry against damage for an estimated £800m while it is on loan to the British Museum next year.

The 70m-long embroidery depicting the Battle of Hastings in 1066 will travel from France to London as part of a deal between the two nations' governments
