Episode Synopsis

It was on this day in 1682 that an English astronomer, Edmund Halley, observed a particular comet in the sky. He didn't discover it, but he did figure out when it was going to come back - only by then, he wasn't around to see it again. Plus: in the old days comets were believed to be a sign of bad news coming. In one case, that may have actually been right.
