He discovered Halley's Comet which is named after him.

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.

Edmond Halley- a british scientist
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.
Comet Hyakutake was first discovered by astronomers in the year 1996. It is believed that the comet will not be seen again for at least another 70,000 years.
a special comet named 35P/Herschel-Rigollet.
