Newton and comets
1987
The publication of Isaac Newton’s ‘‘notions about motion’’ 300 years ago was a major moment in the history of science. In the period just before 1687 Newton’s correspondence was much concerned with comets. In this period two bright comets were seen. These comets appear to have been a major stimulation to Newton’s work on mechanics.
