"1759 report on the return of Halley's comet"

Today we are fortunate to have a 262-year old report to consider. For this we have to thank member Chich, who transcribed the report written by a gentleman called Astrophilus back in the 18th century. By this time it was known that Halley's comet had a 76-year period. Congratulations Chich on winning the VROD for today and happy reading to all...
