Abstract
This paper presents a historical approach of Edmond Halley and the discovery of the comet that would be known as comet Halley. It will be presented a development of a geometrical method, based upon the second Kepler’s Law, to calculate the trajectories of five comets: Halley, Hale-Bopp, McNaught, Neowise, Leonard. This method was used in high schools, classrooms. Furthermore, it will present all the photographic records of these five comets during 37 years of observation.
Keywords: Edmond halley, comets trajectories, hale-bopp McNaught, leonard, neowise, science education
