Edmond Halley didn't discover a comet, but he did research, and he published papers in astronomy and many other fields. Russian Czar Peter the Great liked him as a dining and drinking companion, and King William III put this civilian in charge of a Royal Navy ship. But how did he get a comet named for him?
