Atlas der großen Kometen, 1st edition

Ronald Stoyan’s large-format illustrated atlas portrays 30 of the greatest comets of modern times. Historical drawings, graphics, broadsheets and photographs document how these celestial visitors were perceived and scientifically understood over more than 500 years. The rich visual material is accompanied by informative text.

For each comet, the author discusses its orbit and visibility, discovery and observations, public response and scientific significance. The book combines the history of astronomy with the development of comet research and works as both an illustrated volume and a reference for comet enthusiasts. Please note: this book is written in German.
