Abstract
In-situ observations made by the various plasma experiments onboard Giotto, Vega 1 and 2, Suisei, Sakigake, and ICE during the Halley flybys are summarized and discussed, starting with the phenomena furthest away (pick-up ions, plasma waves) and ending with the phenomena closest to the nucleus (magnetic cavity)
