		Johann Georg Palitzsch (June 11, 1723 - February 21, 1788)
		In 1935, the astronomical community honored him by naming a Moon Crater after him: Moon crater Palitzsch is situated at 28.0S, 64.5E and 41.0 km across.
		Near this crater there is a valley on the Moon, named Palitzsch Valley, from its proximity to the crater.

	Edmond Halley Successfully Predicts the Return of the Great Comet of 1682 \| Science and Its Times: 1700-1799
		First seen by German amateur astronomer Johann Georg Palitzsch, its appearance was a landmark event in the history of both astronomy and physics.
		As late as 1619, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) thought that comets moved in straight lines across the heavens, and it was not until Newton's 1687 publication of the Principia that this was realized to be impossible.
		In fact, Newton found that his laws of gravity and motion required all bodies to move in paths that belonged to a family of shapes called "conic sections," the shapes one gets from cutting a cone at different angles.

		`Halley's Comet', as it was from now on called, was telescopically recovered in December 1758 by Johann Palitzsch; this proved conclusively the validity of Newton's law of gravity out to the distance of the aphelion at 35 AU, more than three times the distance of Saturn, the outermost planet known at that time.
		It was realized that comets in general, and Jupiter family members in particular, suffer by far the largest orbital perturbations due to the action by Jupiter, and the restricted three-body problem (Sun-Jupiter-comet) therefore offered an interesting approximation for the study of their dynamical behaviour.
		After Halley, Johann F. Encke was the second to successfully predict the return of a comet (in 1822) which as a consequence now carries his name.

		On the occasion of Kepler's 400th birthday in 1971 the octagonal pavilion with a statue of Johann Kepler was re-errected in the park at Roemerstrasse (between the castle's museum entrance and Martins church).

		The predicted return of Halley's comet was first sighted by German farmer and amateur astronomer, Johann Georg Palitzsch, as a faint object in Pisces.
		Palitzsch also observed the June 6, 1761 transit of Venus, when he saw a fl band linking Venus and the Sun near the beginning and end of the transit ("fl drop effect") and correctly interpreted this as evidence that Venus possessed an atmosphere.

	Comets
		Tycho deduced that the comet was at least four times farther away than the Moon, establishing for the first time that comets were heavenly bodies.
		It was the English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton who demonstrated in his Principia (1687) that, if heavenly bodies are attracted by a central body (the Sun) in proportion to the inverse square of its distance, they must move along a conic section (circle, ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola)
		Observed on Christmas night, 1758, by Johann Georg Palitzsch, a German amateur astronomer, the comet passed at perihelion in March 1759 and at perigee (closest to the Earth) in April 1759.

	Comets Demystified, Asteroids Discovered - Tycho measures a comet, Edmond halley's triumph
		On Christmas night in 1758, a German amateur astronomer named Johann Palitzsch was the first person to catch sight of the comet.
		Each successive planet was situated about one-and-a-half to two times as far from the sun as the one before it.
		The first astronomer to notice this suspicious mathematical pattern was a German named Johann Titius.

	Halley's Comet Returns After 76 Years, Named
		In a conclusion to the search of the skies that has kept astronomers and amateur star gazers fascinated for months, the comet whose return was predicted by Edmond Halley over fifty years ago has been seen again over Germany by astronomer Johann Palitzsch.
		The comet, which will now probably forever be known as Halley's Comet, last made an appearance in 1682 and its return now confirm what Halley was convinced of - that the comet has a period of about 76 years and will make a further appearance in 1835.
		Footnote - James Cook travelled down to the Pacific to watch this transit and it was on this voyage that Australia and New Zealand were discovered by Europeans.

		After a rough estimate of the perturbations the comet would sustain from the attraction of the planets, he predicted its return for 1757.
		Halley's prediction of the comet's return proved to be correct, although it was not seen until December 25,1758 by Johann Georg Palitzsch, a German farmer and amateur astronomer, and did not pass through its perihelion until March 1759.
		In 1781, English astronomer William Herschel detected Uranus in the night sky, but he thought it was a comet.

		From this information, he predicted the comet would next appear in 1758.
		The comet that now bears his name was recovered on 1758 December 25, by Johann Georg Palitzsch, a German farmer and amateur astronomer.
		Following the return of 1758-1759, astronomers began trying to link Halley's comet to comets seen prior to the 1531 appearance.

		He even went so far as to calculate likely positions for the comet and had his astronomers check them.
		Unfortunately, by restricting the areas of the search, Deslisle missed out on find-ing the comet, which was found in De-cember 1758 by Johann Palitzsch, and, as would happen throughout history, was a case of the Germans soundly beating the French.
		In January of 1759, Messier spotted the comet and thought he had discovered it.
