ASTRONOMERS UNIVERSE WEIRD COMETS AND ASTEROI...

This book concentrates on some of the odd aspects of comets and asteroids. Strange behavior of
comets  such as outbursts and schisms  and how asteroids can temporally act as comets are
discussed  together with the possible threat of Centaurs-class objects like the Taurid complex.
Recent years have seen the distinction between comets and asteroids become less prominent.
Comets in asteroid orbits and vice versa have become almost commonplace and a clearer view of
the role of small bodies in the formation of the Solar System and their effect on Earth has
become apparent. Seargent covers this development in detail by including new data and
information from space probes.
