Verrazzano as the discovcrer part of it

Edmund HALEY was tine son of soap
maker I'm the town of his birth, Hag-
garston Qondon). He was born In
1856 and died in 1912 He became
noted for his love of mathematics
early In his life. He also became an
authority on astronomical subjects.
In 1876 he published paper on the
orbits of the principal planets and also
an observation on a spot on the sun
from which he inferred it's rbtation
around It's axis. In the same year he
went to ST. Helena. where he applied
himself TO the formation OF a catalogue
Of the stars In the southern heml-
sphere.
1t was In 1850 that he went to Paris.
where, In connection with Cassini, he
made his observation on the great
comet that goes by his name and
which Is now returning. Haley pre-
| dicted the return OF this comet, and It
was his observation on this comet that
formed part Of Newton's calculation
of comets orbit.
In 1899 he established the hypothesis
relative to the change in the variations
Of the magnetic needle In various parts
OF the world For this he was reward
