| Summary |
"Regular as clockwork, once every 76 years, a spectacular comet hurtles into the Solar System to sweep through the night skies of planet Earth. For a few tantalising weeks the comet is plainly visible to the naked eye -- trailing a fantastic tail millions of kilometres long. A comet called Halley tells where to look and how to photograph the Comet, what comets are and where they come from. Throughout history the Comet has terrified and fascinated people. Thanks to the work of Edmond Halley these fears were finally allayed, and our excitement now stems from the possibilities of learning more about comets from ground-based telescopes and the space probes flying to intercept Halley's Comet." -- Back cover |
