Description

Timed to coincide with the crescendo of public interest in the return of Halley's Comet during the autumn of 1985, this short, highly-illustrated book will be ideal for any general reader curious to know more about one of the most mysterious phenomena in the universe. Directly linked to a television programme to be networked by the IBA, the book describes the Comet, its origins and history, tells how it was discovered and explains where best to view it and how to photograph it. The text is complemented by diagrams, sky charts and cumputer animation sequences, some in colour, to make a very readable, easy-to-follow companion for anyone interested in this unique cosmic visitor.
