15、ate the Harvest Moon Festival with her one last time. Everyone said it was remarkable that Yinlan had died just two days after the holiday.

He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Newton
22、, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the - 5 -shape of an ellipse (椭圆).Now Halley set to work.He figured out (解决; 计算出 ) the orbits of some of
