{"product_id":"9781988357485","title":"Edmond Halley: Great Astronomers","description":"Edmond Halley ( November 8, 1656 - January 25, 1742 ) was an English astronomer, geophysicist, mathematician, meteorologist, and physicist who is best known for computing the orbit of Halley's Comet. He was the second Astronomer Royal in Britain, succeeding John Flamsteed.\u003cp\u003eIn 1705, applying historical astronomy methods, he published Synopsis Astronomia Cometicae, which stated his belief that the comet sightings of 1456, 1531, 1607, and 1682 were of the same comet, which he predicted would return in 1758. Halley did not live to witness the comet's return, but when it did, the comet became generally known as Halley's Comet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DIAMOND PUBLISHERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040823558384,"sku":"9781988357485","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781988357485_p0.jpg?v=1763673505","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781988357485","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
