History

[edit]

Before 1066

[edit]
Early descriptions of Halley's comet
From left to right, top to bottom:
1. Report of Halley's Comet by Chinese astronomers in 240 BC (Shiji);
2. Observation of Halley's Comet, recorded in cuneiform on a clay tablet between 22 and 28 September 164 BC, Babylon, Iraq;
3. Possible record of Halley's Comet's 66 AD appearance in the Talmud (b. Horayot 10a);
4. The Zuqnin Chronicle's mention of Halley's Comet in 760 AD, with an illustration that includes the relative positions of Aries, Mars and Saturn in the sky;
5. The Annals of Ulster's entry for the year 912 AD, ending with Cometis apparuit ("a comet appeared").

  • "I must entreat you to procure for me of Mr Flamsteed what he has observed of the Comett of 1682 particularly in the month of September, for I am more and more confirmed that we have seen that Comett now three times, since yͤ Yeare 1531, he will not deny it you, though I know he will me." —Excerpt of Halley's letter to Newton about comet's orbits (28 September 1695)
