"His keen astronomical interest bubbles from every page...The book we will still be consulting a decade from now is Schaafs."SKY & TELESCOPE "The book of the century on comets."NORTHERN LIGHTS "The book that will still be useful long after Hale-Bopp has dimmed from view is Schaafs Comet of the Century." SPACE VIEWS "So well written that it will appeal even to the reader who does not know the difference between an asteroid and an adenoid."PATRICK MOORE
The present century has been a disappointing one for comets, but past centuries often featured spectacular, unforgettable comet shows that dominated the night (and even daytime) sky for months: comets that outshone Venus or even the Moon, whose spectacular tails stretched more than halfway across the sky or were weirdly split, and whose apparition was held responsible for everything from wars to unusually good wine vintages. Published to coincide with the first naked-eye appearance of Comet Hale-Bopp, perhaps our own comet of the century, this book is an irresistible guide to comet facts and lore throughout history.
