Edmond (or Edmund) Halley 's father was also called Edmond (or Edmund) Halley. He came from a Derbyshire family and was a wealthy soap-maker in London at a time when the use of soap was spreading throughout Europe. There is some confusion over both the date and year of Halley's birth. The confusion over the date is simply due to the change in calendar (29 October by the calendar of his time). The confusion over the year is less easy to decide, but we give 1656 which Halley himself claimed as the year of his birth. Halley's father last much in the great fire of London, which was in the year in which Halley was ten years old. His father still could afford a good education for his son and Halley was tutored privately at home before being sent to St Paul's School. It was at St Paul's School that Halley showed his talents to the full, being [16]:- ... equally distinguished in classics and mathematics

    Pangeret, omniparens leges violare creator Noluit, atque operum quae fundamenta locarit. Intima panduntur victi penetralia caeli, Nec latet extremos quae vis circumrotat orbes. Sol solio residens ad se jubet omnia prono Tendere descensu, nec recto tramite currus Sidereos patitur vastum per inane moveri; Sed rapit immotis, se centro, singula gyris. Jam patet horrificis quae sit via flexa cometis; Jam non miramur barbati phaenomena astri. Discimus hinc tandem qua causa argentea Phoebe Passibus haud aequis graditur; cur subdita nulli Hactenus astronomo numerorum fraena recuset: Cur remeant nodi, curque Auges progrediuntur. Viribus impellit, fessis dum fluctibus ulvam Deserit, ac nautis suspectas nudat arenas; Alternis vicibus suprema ad littora pulsans. Quae toties animos veterum torsere sophorum, Quaeque scholas frustra rauco certamine vexant, Obvia conspicimus, nubem pellente mathesi. Jam dubios nulla caligine praegravat error, Queis superum penetrare domos atque ardua caeli Scandere sublimis genii concessit acumen.

    Edmond Halley
    a.k.a. Edmund Halley
    "That if a star were displaced in the globe he would presently find it out." The weather in St Helena made astronomical observations difficult at best and had much to be desired. Despite this Halley's eighteen month stay on the island resulted in his cataloguing of 341 southern hemisphere stars as well as the discovery of a star cluster in Centaurus. During the voyage Halley improved the sextant, an instrument used for navigation, he collected data relative to the ocean and atmosphere, he noted the equatorial retardation of the pendulum, and made on St Helena, on November 7, 1677, the first complete observation of a transit of Mercury. He proposed using transits of Mercury or Venus to better determine the distance of the Sun and therefore the scale of the solar system using Kepler
    's third law of planetary motion. In 1680 he set out on a European tour with a school friend, Robert Nelson. Halley had observed a comet while near Calais and travelled on to Paris where, together with Cassini, he made further observations in an attempt to determine its orbit. Much of 1681 Halley spent back in Italy. Edmond Halley returned to England in the following year where he married Mary Tooke. The marriage brought on financial responsibilities to Halley, and his father's recent marriage turned out to be total disaster. The young Halley had to face the consequence that his support from his father would soon dry up. More problems soon followed. In March of 1684 his father vanished without a trace only to be found some five weeks later dead. As a result of his father's death, Halley found himself administer to his father's personal estate.
