Preoccupied by his other scientific interests seems to have taken his Lime applying newtonian principles to comets. In 1686 he had drawn what is considered Iho first meteorological Chart which illustrated the directions of prevailing winds Over the oceans. This was the beginning of what is known As thematic maps maps that illustrate the geographic distribution of information about climate vegetation population wealth and just about any physical or abstract tact similarly on a sailing expedition to commanded. Halley plotted the variations of the Earth s magnetism and produced a map illustrating the variations As an Aid to navigators using magnetic compasses. For the Chart Halley introduced another of his cartographic innovations the is lines these Are lines on a map connecting Points of equal value the most familiar of which today Are the contour lines on Topographic maps that Trace zones of equal Elevation but Halter had not Tor Gotton the come of 16b2 after an analysis of historical accounts he became convinced thai comets seen in 1531 and 1607 were the same As the 16b2 object.
