31、ied the observations ofcomets( 彗星 )which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficultmathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant
