Halley soon decided those of (he comets he was studying were ellipses The difficulty was only a tlnv fraction of a comet's orbit was observable These frustrating fragments were barely enough, or simply not enough, to permit a distinction between a parabola and an ellipse Halley's mathematics indicated ellipses lo him. »Hit what he needed for solid experimental proof was a recurrent comet since only an elliptical path could bring a comet back to the sun periodically on an open ended path it obviously would not lx- seen again "A fter a gixxl deal of lafxirious tria l and error backing and filling and midnight oil by the fiarrel. he fixind at least one such comet, one that he himself had sen in 1682. although his observations of if had tx-en rather casual More data on the appearance strengthened Halley s hunch Ifie comet he had seen in 1682 was the same reported for 1607, which in turn should »x- the same comet as that reported for 1631 One comet, three appearances But he had a gixxl deal of work ahead of him He would have lo extrapolate his puny fragments of curving path into the full ellipse stretching hundreds of millions of miles inlo space and hack again, estim ate/l the comet's ever changing velocity, calculate the effect of Jupiter's and Saturn’s massivr gravity on its orbit, and determine the position of the earth at the time of its predicted return "A ll this he did. hut. with what must have Ixx-n an overgenerous helping of chagrin, he soon realized the comet could not return until he was more than a hundred year* old '' from "Edmond Halley and his Comet." by Louis Baldwin Maverick Publications.
