1. halley

   Halley is often used as a reference to the English astronomer Edmond Halley, who is most famous for computing the orbit of the now-named Halley's Comet. Thus, "Halley" can refer to the astronomer, the comet, or Halley's method (an algorithm used in numerical analysis for root-finding). It's also a unisex first name. The exact definition would depend on the context in which it is used.

1. Halley

   Halley is a lunar impact crater that is intruding into the southern wall of the walled plain Hipparchus. To the southwest of Halley is the large crater Albategnius, and due east lies the slightly smaller Hind. On the 1645 map by Michael van Langren, the crater is called Gansii, for the gansa of Francis Godwin's The Man in the Moone. The rim of Halley is somewhat worn, and a scar in the lunar surface passes through the western rim, forming a valley that runs to the south-southeast, near the rim of Albategnius. The interior floor of Halley is relatively flat.
