Halley's Comet
"Discovered" by Edmund Halley [pronounced with a short "a" sound like alley, not a long "a" like rail] when he researched certain accounts of comet sightings in history and calculated [through extrapolation of Kepler's laws of motion] that it was the same comet in a very very big orbit, not a bunch of different comets. He was proved correct when the comet given his named re-appeared in 1758 like he predicted. But, he had died previously and did not get to see it.
A side note for Halley is that he helped bring about the publicatin of one of the most important works in scientific history: "The Principia" by Sir Isaac Newton.
