…Using this method, E. Harry calculated the orbits of comets whose observation records had been kept. As a result, he found that the orbits of three comets that appeared in 1531, 1607, and 1682 were very similar, and the interval between their appearances was about 76 years, so he thought that these were the same comets that had appeared repeatedly, and predicted that they would appear again at the end of 1758 or the beginning of 1759. On the night of December 25, 1758, German amateur astronomer JG Palitzsch observed the reappearance of this comet, confirming the existence of periodic comets. This was the beginning of comet sweeping with a telescope, and the first comet discovery by an amateur. …
