Edmond Halley

Biography

British scientist who explored the Atlantic coast, surveying the tides and coastline of the English channel, publishing a topographical map in 1702. A professor of geometry at Oxford in 1703, he was appointed Astronomer Royal in 1721. He won fame for his accurate prediction of the return in 1758 of the comet which was consequently named after him.

Halley's father, a wealthy soap manufacturer, was brutally murdered in a politically-motivated assassination. He became a colleague and close friend to the reclusive Isaac Newton, paying himself for the publication of Newton's "Principia."

Died on 25 January 1742 in Greenwich, England.
