Edmond Halley's birthday celebrated in Google Doodle 

The search engine's logo on it home page has been transformed for the day to depict Halley's comet soaring past planets hanging on strings.
The nursery-like scene shows the comet, whose orbit Halley famously calculated, passing Saturn with the Sun, Moon, stars and a rocket in the background.
The Google doodle honours the mathematician, who became Britain's second Astronomer Royal.
Edmond Halley 335th Birthday today!
