Viac o knihe
The book delves into the historical and scientific exploration of comets, tracing their significance from ancient civilizations to contemporary astronomy. It examines how these celestial bodies, viewed as omens, have baffled humanity for centuries. The narrative highlights key developments in understanding cometary paths, including the invention of the cometarium in 1732 and advancements in mechanical devices for solving Kepler's Problem. Spanning two millennia, it connects philosophical musings with modern scientific achievements, culminating in the study of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the Rosetta spacecraft.
