"Graham and Hintz knew that 467/6 BC corresponded roughly with an
expected pass of Halley's comet so they modelled the exact path that the
comet would have taken, and compared it to all of the details they
could find in ancient accounts, for example that the object was in the
western sky when the meteorite fell, and was surrounded by shooting
stars."
This seems to be a one off project, using mathematical models of orbital dynamics (physics/astronomy) and ancient texts (classics)
Would you consider this an example of Digital Classics?
