Behind
the Comet
When, as he had predicted years earlier, a bright comet appeared in the skies
on Christmas Day 1758, Edmund Halley's name was indelibly etched into civilization's
consciousness, and every 76 years his comet celebrated anew. But Halley, a contemporary
of Newton, was an extraordinary mind whose contributions went far beyond astronomy.
Among the latest additions to TheHistoryNet is the story of the "Comet
Man".
