Edmond Halley Halley was appointed Savilian professor of geometry at Oxford in 1704, and in 1720 he succeeded John Flamsteed as astronomer royal. At the Greenwich Observatory he used the first transit instrument and devised a method for determining longitude at sea by means of lunar observations. Halley played an active role in the events and controversies of his time. He both morally and financially supported Isaac Newton, pacified the astronomer Johannes Hevelius regarding the disputed accuracy of methods for measuring stellar positions, and infuriated Flamsteed by scheming with Newton to publish Flamsteed's observations long before they were complete.

He came from a Derbyshire family and was a wealthy soap-maker in London at a time when the use of soap was spreading throughout Europe. There is some confusion over both the date and year of Halley's birth. The confusion over the date is simply due to the change in calendar (29 October by the calendar of his time). The confusion over the year is less easy to decide, but we give 1656 which Halley himself claimed as the year of his birth. Halley's father last much in the great fire of London, which was in the year in which Halley was ten years old. His father still could afford a good education for his son and Halley was tutored privately at home before being sent to St Paul's School.

Edmond Halley (1656 - 1742) The English astronomer and mathematician was the first to calculate the orbit of the comet later named after him. He also played a central role in the publication of Newton's Principia. While at Oxford, Halley was introduced to John Flamsteed, the astronomer royal. The relationship developed and, influenced by Flamsteed's project to compile a catalogue of northern stars, Halley proposed to do the same for the Southern Hemisphere. By the time he returned home in January 1678, he had recorded the celestial longitudes and latitudes of 341 stars and observed a transit of Mercury across the Sun's disk. Halley's star catalogue, published in 1678, was the first to contain telescopically determined locations of southern stars and that year he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. Along with the inventor and microscopist Robert Hooke, Sir Christopher Wren and Sir Isaac Newton, Halley was trying to develop a mechanical explanation for planetary motion. Although progress had been made, Hooke and Halley were not able to deduce a theoretical orbit that would match the observed planetary motions. However, Newton was already there: the orbit would be an ellipse, and Newton expanded his studies on celestial mechanics in his famous work, the Principia. The Royal Society charged Halley with the business of producing the book, which was published in 1687.

Halley, Edmond English atronomer who not only identified 1705 the comet that was later to be known by his name, but also compiled a star catalogue, detected the proper motion of stars, using historical records, and began a line of research that - after his death - resulted in a reasonably accurate calculation of the astronomical unit. Halley calculated that the cometary sightings reported in 1456, 1531, 1607, and 1682 all represented reappearances of the same comet. He reasoned that the comet would follow a parabolic path and announced 1705 that it would reappear 1758. When it did, public acclaim for the astronomer was such that his name was irrevocably attached to it. Halley was also a pioneer geophysicist and meteorologist and worked in many other fields, including mathematics. He became the second Astronomer Royal 1720. He was a friend of Isaac Newton, whose Principia he financed. Halley was born near London and studied at Oxford but left without taking a degree. He spent 1676-78 on the S Atlantic island of St Helena, charting the stars of the southern hemisphere. He became professor of geometry at Oxford 1703.

Return to The Worlds of David Darling INDEX LATEST NEWS ARCHIVE ... Z entire Web this site Halley, Edmond (1656-1742) A highly influential and well-liked English astronomer and physicist best known for the comet named after him (see Halley's Comet ). In 1679 he published the first accurate southern sky catalogue based on his two years of telescopic observations on St. Helena. His interest in comets was sparked by the great comet of 1682, which prompted him to work out the orbits of 24 known comets; noting that the orbits of comets seen in 1456, 1531, 1607, and 1682 were very similar, he concluded that they were of one and the same object and predicted its return in 1758 (though he died before his prediction could be verified). In 1695, after a decade of lunar studies, he proposed the secular acceleration of the Moon; in 1718, by noting that Sirius, Procyon, and Arcturus had changed position since the time of Ptolemy’s Almagest , he discovered stellar proper motion . After succeeding John Flamsteed as the second Astronomer Royal in 1720, he began a series of lunar and solar observations that spanned the 19-year lunar cycle, or Saros, and confirmed the Moon’s secular acceleration. His celebrated friendship with Isaac Newton enabled him to persuade Newton to publish the

He returned to England in November . In the following year he published Catalogus Stellarum Australium which included details of 341 southern stars.
