 Newton's theory of gravitation suggested that comets might belong to the solar system moving about the sun in long el- Hoses and parabolas. Haley, on his appoint Yient as savilan professor of geometry at oxford, fin 1704. followed up the work of his beloved master by computing the orbits for twenty four comets from 1897 to 1888.
 As an accidental outcome of this he dis covered that the orbits of three of them those of 153i. 1907 and 1ss2-were so near comets The period of their appearances varied between seventy four and seventy six years, but this could be accounted for by the pull of the planets, and hence Haley decided that they were really reappearances of one comet
