Happy birthday to Edmond Halley, born on this day in 1656. You may know him best by his discovery, Halley's Comet, last seen in 1986. Next time we'll see it is 2061, so update your google calendar soon so you don't forget.
Halley didn't just look upwards at night and say "hey what's that?" - he used his Big Math Brain to create the first telescopic catalogue of the southern sky; calculated the distance between Earth, Venus and the Sun; made a chart on trade winds with symbols we still use today; and a bunch of other things.
Do you have a Big Math Brain, or want to develop one? Look no further than LBCC. No guarantee on comets, but definitely a promise that we can help you become the shooting star you were meant to be.
