“ AHhough Newton had te n ta tiv e ly concluded the paths of comets were
parabolas. 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 ''

"A l this point it's hard to predict
how many people w ill advance to the
state meet,” said Conklin "Some
people get injured while others come
through at district "
Those who finish first or second at
the district meet automatically ad
vance to the state meet plus those
who meet the state qualifying stand
ard Eor years the state qualifying
standards have been ridiculously
high hut not anymore according to
Conklin
"E or instance the qualifying stan
dard in tfie hoys' high jump was
lowered from 6'S" to 6 'l" . " he said
"Tfiat mark is something both of <xir
