Reading #JohnGreen 's #AnthropoceneReviewed and was curious about a brief anecdote about #Halley of #comet fame. So I looked up and found this brief article about him from #BritishHeritage.

I think someone could make a movie about this guy. There's scientific wonder, #IsaacNewton , a prim and proper Englishman becoming a hard drinking naval captain, cannon battles, kings, queens, tsars, more than enough for a great story!
