"

In 1757 he published his Astronomiae Fundamenta Novissimus, containing a list of about 400 bright stars with positions corrected for aberration and nutation. He carried out calculations on comet orbits and was responsible for giving Halley's Comet its name. His last public lecture, given on 14 September 1761 at the Royal Academy of Sciences, summarised the improvements to astronomy that had occurred during his lifetime. His death, probably caused in part by over-work[citation needed], occurred in 1762. He was buried in the vaults of the Mazarin College, now the Institut de France in Paris.
