Their appearances  at regular, but mostly irregular, times excite people who see them.  Astronomers have the obvious advantage of being able to see more of  comets, and to study them. Their enthusiasm is reflected in the 50  papers in this book, written by more than 90 experts. \u003cbr\u003e  The reviews in this book clearly describe a landmark in the history  of cometary studies. Knowledge gathered up to and including Comet  Halley are presented in two volumes. The first volume is about  general aspects of observing and studying comets, where they  originate and how their evolution develops. \u003cbr\u003e  The second volume goes into the details of what a comet is: the  nucleus, the coma, cometary dust, plasmas and magnetic fields.  The  book ends with a reflection by Fred Whipple about Comets in the  Post-Halley Era. \u003cbr\u003e  The book discusses all aspects of comets and is therefore suitable  for use in graduate level courses. All astronomers and geophysicists  interested in comets will find very useful and well-presented  information in this book. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1991-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792311645\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-3378-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 688\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311599669388,"sku":"9780792311645","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792311645.jpg?v=1771507138","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792311645","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
