UK / England: Edmond Halley (1656-1742), English astronomer, geophysicist, mathematician, meteorologist, and physicist best known for computing the orbit of the eponymous Halley's Comet. Oil painting by Thomas Murray, c. 1687

Halley's Comet or Comet Halley is a short-period comet visible from Earth every 75–76 years. Halley is the only short-period comet that is clearly visible to the naked eye from Earth, and the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime. Halley last appeared in the inner Solar System in 1986 and will next appear in mid-2061.
