...1. Pluto 2. Neptune 3. Big Dipper 4. Halley's Comet "In 1758 Halley's comet was first sighted by Johann Georg Palitzsch during its return. The most famous of all comets, having been observed in 1531, 1607, 1682, 1758, 1834 ,1910 and 1986. Halley entered the picture in 1705, realizing that the appearance of the comet in 1682 was the same comet as those observed on the previous two dates listed above. Surmising that the comet was following the same laws which governed planetary orbits, he calculated the orbit corresponding to a 76 year period and predicted its return in 1758. Though he did not live to see it, the return of the comet in 1758 was a triumph for orbit calculations based on Newton's laws and led to the naming of the comet after Halley. Subsequent to Halley's analysis, historical research showed that Halley's comet had been observed at every passage since 240 BC." (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/solar/halley.html)
