On the clearest nights in the darkest places you can see as many as two thousand stars. On what scaffolding are they hung? Jan DeBlieu began to wonder. Her husband had become enveloped in a depression of his own, and both he and DeBlieu were struggling to find points of light out of that darkness. DeBlieu discovers it in the sky above, a firmament of order and beauty that prompts her to consider the worlds inside our minds, the delicate framework of neurons and synapses that support our fragile selves. Year of the Comets is her record of the journey she and her husband take from pain to healing.

Since several decades, comets have been considered as key witnesses of solar system formation. Their nature has been explored using the modern arsenal of Earth- and space-based observations, and they hold a central place as dynamical arbiters of the planetary system in the new paradigm of solar system evolution known as the Nice Model. Thus, they have the potential to test the various ideas, using the detailed data recently gathered by the ESA/Rosetta mission. This requires an understanding of their origin and evolution, which form the subject of the present book. All the relevant issues are covered, describing both the background and the current frontiers of research. Contents: IntroductionPhysical and Chemical PropertiesComet DynamicsPhysical Evolution in Observable CometsCapture of CometsFormation of Comet ReservoirsOrigin of Comet NucleiOutlooks Readership: University students and researchers interested in astrophysics. Keywords: Comets;Nice Model;Rosetta Mission;Comet DynamicsReview: Key Features: Currently this is the only book that discusses the Nice ModelThis book presents a comprehensive assessment of the recent progress in the whole, broad field of researchIt offers the first picture of comet origin and evolution that appears after the amazing results of Rosetta have been digested

The diminutive size of cometary bodies is in no way proportional to their scientific importance. Theorists suggest that comets played a major role in the development of the Earth and subsequent collosions of comets may have wiped out various life forms, allowing only the most adaptable to develop further. In short, the study of comets is important from a historical perspective, scientifically compelling and, at the same time, entertaining. In this authoritative book, the development of cometary ideas is traced from antiquity through the actual fly-by of Halley by international spacecraft in 1986. The focus is on the cometary theories that were evident in each era. Included are many colorful anecdotes and information about culture and important personalities throughout history. Also contains an exhaustive catalog of all comet apparitions through the year 1700.

Excerpt from Comet Lore Halley's Comet in History and Astronomy Sun will surely rise and set to-morrow. Just so surely must a Comet flare forth in our Heavens this Spring. Star-gazers, astronomers and learned men have been waiting for this Comet all over the earth in America, in Europe, in far China. They have known for certain that this Comet would come; and they knew just when and where in the Heavens the Comet would first show itself to the naked eye - down to the very night. All this has been known so surely because this same Comet has been seen by the people of this earth before. It came and went seventy-four years ago. Seventy-six years before that, it came and went. And seventy-six years before that, the Comet had come and gone. As long as human beings have lived on this earth for - thousands and thousands of years - human eyes have beheld this same Comet every seventy-six years or so. The longest time between the Comets coming has been seventy-nine years. The shortest interval of all - 74/2 years - was this time. For thousands of years in the past, wise men have written down records of this Comet. Long, long ago, when white men were still savages who dwelt in caves, patient star-gazers in China and Chaldea studied the motions of this Comet.
