Calculations on Comets and the Limits of Orbital Prediction
The writer argues that even Newtonian gravity cannot precisely determine a comet’s period from Earthbound observations. He notes the influence of orbital eccentricity on return times, cites Halley and Lalande, and suggests future knowledge depends on broader observational capacity beyond our planet.
