A guide to comets, which explores their history, recent discoveries and the belief that comets inspire everything from psychotic behaviour and suicide, to the actions of world leaders. The author also contemplates the possibility of a comet colliding with Earth.

David H. Levy is a contributing editor of Parade magazine and has discovered twenty-one comets, including Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which collided with Jupiter. He is the author of nineteen books, including Skywatching, hundreds of articles, and a number of screenplays, all on aspects of astronomy. He lives in Vail, Arizona
