sir Edmond Halley was the Astronomer/Mathematician who hypothesized that the
great comets that had appeared at intervals of 73 to 77 years since ancient times
were all the same object, and correctly predicted its return in the late 18th Century.
He didn't live to see it return, but when it did, it was named for him.
