Why is a comet named after Halley?
The comet was named after English astronomer Edmond Halley who first worked out how often this particular comet appeared in our skies.
Mr Halley read reports of bright comets and said it was the same comet coming back near the Earth every 70 years or so. He predicted its next return. When it showed up on time, people called it Halley's Comet. See link below.<p></p><p> http://space.about.com/od/comets/a/halleyscomet.htm
