ID1: INTRODUCTION |
In 1705 Edmond Halley predicted, using Newton's newly formulated laws of motion, that the comet seen in 1531, 1607 and 1682 would return in 1758. These images have been taken during its 1986 appearance; the second image, from the Royal Observatory of Edinburgh, relies on false-color digital enhancement to show even slight brightness differences. |
