Throughout the ages, comets, enigmatic and beautiful wandering
objects that appear for weeks or months, have alternately
fascinated and terrified humankind. The result of five years of
careful research, Atlas of Great Comets is a generously illustrated
reference on thirty of the greatest comets that have been witnessed
and documented since the Middle Ages. Special attention is given to
the cultural and scientific impact of each appearance, supported by
a wealth of images, from woodcuts, engravings, historical paintings
and artifacts, to a showcase of the best astronomical photos and
images. Following the introduction, giving the broad historical
context and a modern scientific interpretation, the Great Comets
feature in chronological order. For each, there is a contemporary
description of its appearance along with its scientific, cultural
and historical significance. Whether you are an armchair astronomer
or a seasoned comet-chaser, this spectacular reference deserves a
place on your shelf.
