Edmond Halley
Who predicted the return of comet which was eventually named after me
Edmund Halley PREDICTED the return of the comet which was later named for him.
Edmond Halley. That is why it is named after him.
Edmond Halley.
Edmond Halley
because he predicted its returm
Halley didn't exactly find the comet named after him; doing calculations on the basis of several observations, he calculated the orbit and predicted when the comet would return. This was confirmed - the comet returned - after his death.Halley didn't exactly find the comet named after him; doing calculations on the basis of several observations, he calculated the orbit and predicted when the comet would return.

No! he predicted that it would appear but he wasn't around to see it. It was named after him not by him.
Halley did, that's why it's named after him.
Halleyâ??s comet is named after English astronomer Edmond Halley. Halley examined reports of a comet approaching Earth in 1531, 1607 and 1682 and concluded that these three comets were actually the same comet returning over and over again. He then predicted the comet would come again in 1758.
Astronomer Edmond Halley (1656-1742) mathematically predicted the return of Halley's Comet in1758, and established the periodicity of long-term comets. It was named after Halley in 1759.
Halley's Comet is named after the man who determined its orbit predicted the comet's return. for more info & photos see the link http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/comets/halley.html
