The authors show how comets have spurred some of the great discoveries in the history of science and raise intriguing questions about these brilliant visitors from the interstellar dark. Were the fates of the dinosaurs and the origins of humans tied to the wanderings of a comet? Are comets the building blocks from which worlds are formed? Lavishly illustrated with photographs and specially commissioned full-color paintings, Comet is an enthralling adventure, indispensable for anyone who has ever gazed up at the heavens and wondered why. 'SIMPLY THE BEST.' *The Times of London 'FASCINATING, EVOCATIVE, INSPIRING.'

*The Washington Post 'COMET HUMANIZES SCIENCE. A BEAUTIFUL, INTERESTING BOOK.' *United Press International 'MASTERFUL.. SCIENCE, POETRY, AND IMAGINATION.'

*The Atlanta Journal & Constitution. Buku ini membahas segala sesuatu tentang salah satu benda langit yang disebut juga bintang berekor, komet. Mulai dari awal diketahui keberadaannya, sejarah, asal-usul proses pembentukannya, mitologi, dan sifat-sifatnya secara ilmiah, juga peran, persepsi dan perubahan pemahaman manusia terhadap komet. Ditulis dan pertama kali diterbitkan pada tahun 1985, sebagian besar bahasan pada buku ini masih cukup relevan untuk dibaca saat ini.

Karena saya merasa tidak punya dasar dan pemahaman astronomi ya Buku ini membahas segala sesuatu tentang salah satu benda langit yang disebut juga bintang berekor, komet. Mulai dari awal diketahui keberadaannya, sejarah, asal-usul proses pembentukannya, mitologi, dan sifat-sifatnya secara ilmiah, juga peran, persepsi dan perubahan pemahaman manusia terhadap komet. Ditulis dan pertama kali diterbitkan pada tahun 1985, sebagian besar bahasan pada buku ini masih cukup relevan untuk dibaca saat ini. Karena saya merasa tidak punya dasar dan pemahaman astronomi yang lebih mendalam 😀, saya tidak tahu persis bagian-bagian mana yang benar-benar sudah tidak relevan dengan perkembangan ilmu astronomi saat ini Recommended to astronomy lover and Sagan fans! Mysterious Traveler: Once upon a time, the young Albert Einstein tried to imagine what it would be like to ride on a beam of light and what the universe would look like to that observer. Writing in his 1985 book, Comet, author Carl Sagan takes the reader on another imaginary journey.
