Halley and His Comet A Royal Astronomer’s Legacy
The text recounts Edmond Halley’s identification of his comet with earlier appearances by Apian in 1534 and Kepler in 1607. It notes his 75 year orbital period calculation, predicting the 1758 return, and his appointment as Astronomer Royal in 1721, a post he held until death. The comet has since been observed repeatedly under favorable conditions.

New England Astronomers Split on Comet Luminosity Display
Boston observers differ on potential effects as Earth nears Halley's comet. Prof Todd expects aurora-like glow from the tail while Prof Wilson anticipates atmospheric darkening and possible charged particle showers affecting wireless telegraphy. Prof Pickering remains inconclusive. Harvard measurements show the comet brightening from magnitude 7.06 to 4.41 in a week.
