Cometography is a multi-volume catalog of every comet observed
throughout history. Volume 3 provides a complete discussion of
every comet seen during the first part of the twentieth century.
Cometography uses the most reliable orbits known to determine the
distances from the Earth and Sun at the time a comet was discovered
and last observed, as well as the largest and smallest angular
distance to the Sun, most northerly and southerly declination,
closest distance to the Earth, and other details to enable the
reader to understand the physical appearance of each well-observed
comet. The book also provides non-technical details to help the
reader better appreciate how the comet may have influenced various
cultures at the time of its appearance. Cometography will be
valuable to historians of science as well as providing amateur and
professional astronomers with a definitive reference on comets
through the ages.
