Comet begins with a breathtaking journey through space astride a comet. Pulitzer Prize-winning astronomer Carl Sagan, author of Cosmos and Contact, and writer Ann Druyan explore the origin, nature, and future of comets, and the exotic myths and portents attached to them. The authors show how comets have spurred some of the great discoveries in the history of science and raise intriguing questions about these brilliant visitors from the interstellar dark.

Were the fates of the dinosaurs and the origins of humans tied to the wanderings of a comet? Are comets the building blocks from which worlds are formed? Comet is an enthralling adventure, indispensable for anyone who has ever gazed up at the heavens and wondered why.

Most relevant
This book covers everything related to comets during Sagan’s time. On a very high level it covers various mythological interpretations, scientific observations, contributions of several scientists, physical and chemical effects and compositions, and more. The information could get overwhelming so I would advise the listeners to take a pause or listen to the chapters again.

Exhaustive and extremely informative
