Edmund Halley was 86 when he died!!
Edmund Halley didn't discover the comet, he predicted when it would return. Up to his time no-one had been able to say when a comet would appear. In 1705, using Newtons laws of gravity, he was able to calculate the effects on a comet of the gravity of planets like Jupiter and Saturn; this allowed him to identify comets recorded in 1682, 1607, and 1531 as the same comet. He then calculated it appeared every 76 years and predicted its return in 1758. Halley himself didn't live to see it, but it turned up right on time, was given his name, and has been Halley's comet ever since.
