Cometography is a multi-volume catalog of every comet observed from
ancient times up to the 1990s, when the internet took off as a
medium of scientific record. It uses the most reliable orbits known
to determine the distances from the Earth and Sun at the time of
discovery and last observation, 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 each comet's physical appearance.
Volume 6, the final volume in the catalog, covers the observations
and pertinent calculations for every comet seen between 1983 and
1993. The comets are listed in chronological order, with complete
references to publications relating to each comet and physical
descriptions of each comet's development throughout its apparition.
Cometography is the definitive reference on comets through the
ages, for astronomers and historians of science.
