JordanHe was the second British Astronomer Royal, and he realized that sightings of a bright comet in the past were probably the same object and correctly predicted its next return; that comet is now named after him. He also did a lot of work on magnetic anomalies, was Captain of a sailing vessel in the Royal Navy, and constructed one of the first actuarial tables.
