Halley's comet was named after a British astronomer. Edmund Halley concluded that reports of three different comets which appeared 76 years apart from one another were referring to the same comet. He died before the year of his prediction, but it appeared. Therefore, the comet was named after him.
It's HALLEY'S Comet, NOT Haley's Comet. It was named after Sir Edmond Halley (pronounced HALL-ee, not HAY-lee) who was the first astronomer to propose that its appearance in the sky was a recurring event and could be predicted.
A famous astronomer saw the comet for the first time when his aunty haley died. Hense haleys comet!

Edmond Haley was an astronomer, who predicted the return of what is now "Haleys Comet"
Probably because they were uninformed. Science has come a long way since then and we know Haleys Comet will probably never collide with Earth and end all life.
it is Halley's comet and it was thought to be a bad omen in 1066
Haleys comet does not orbit the earth it orbits the sun; and it is expected to return again in 2061
Halleys comet comes back around every 76 years.
