The article focuses on Dutch astronomer Frederik Kaiser and his importance to the Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands. It says that Kaiser, who was appointed as a Leiden Observatory observer when he was 18 years old, has introduced a systematic research and observing program in the Dutch astronomy. It adds that the reputation of Kaiser as a scholar was enhanced by his exact computation of the perihelium-passage of Halley's comet in 1835.
