Observaciones y contexto

- This activity can be framed in mathematics, within the topic of integers, or as a complementary activity in the classroom.

- Today we know that the orbital period of Halley's Comet can range between 74 and 79 years.

- The list of years of observations of the comet is as follows, beginning with the year 239 BC, the first year in which it is known to have been observed: 239 BC, 164 BC, 86 BC, 11 BC, 66, 141, 218, 295, 374, 451, 530, 607, 684, 760, 837, 912, 989, 1066, 1145, 1222, 1301, 1378, 1456, 1531, 1607, 1682, 17359, 1910 and 1986. The next appearance is scheduled for the year 2061.

- She comes from a long line of female astronomers: Enheduanna (c.-2285) considered the first female astronomer in history, Hypatia (c.370-c.416), Sophia Brahe (1556-1643), Maria Cunitz (1610-1664), Maria Winkelmann Kirsch (1670-1720). She was a contemporary of figures such as Margaretha Kirch (1703-1744), Caroline Herschel (1750-1848) and Emilie du Châtelet (1706-1749).

- Predecessor of great astronomers and scientists such as Amelie Harlay de Lalande (1768-1832), Mary Fairfax Greig Somerville (1780-1872), Maria Mitchell (1818-1889), Mary Adela Blagg (1858-1944) or Jocelyn Bell Burnell. (1943-).

- She worked alongside mathematician Jerome Lalande, who emphasized the work of women astronomers throughout history.

Descripción

In this activity we will work with the sum of integers to predict when Halley's comet will pass again.
