Ice and Fire: Great Comets to Come was written because a special celestial event climaxes towards the end of 2013 – the arrival, fresh from the Oort Cloud, of Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON). By all predictions – even the most pessimistic ones – this comet is set to be one of, perhaps the most, dazzling comet seen in modern history and has the astronomical world buzzing with anticipation.
Skywatchers have already been primed for C/2012 (ISON) earlier in 2013 with the apparition of another naked-eye comet, C/2011 L4 (PanSTARRS), and following C/2012 S1 (ISON) there is the prospect of 2012 K1 (PanSTARRS) reaching naked eye visibility in August 2014. Future bright cometary prospects are also discussed, taking into account the latest predictions.
Examining the origin and nature of comets using examples of great comets from the past, this book sets the scene for the arrival of Comet C/2012 S1 and those following it over the next few years in the inner Solar System. Skywatchers and amateur astronomers can learn how to follow, observe and record comets. There is also a guide on how to keep abreast of the latest cometary discoveries and how to use a variety of reputable sources, including publications, websites, programs and apps to visualize and plan observations. The role of the amateur in cometary discovery also is featured, as well as details on how professional astronomers plan to get the most ‘science’ out of cometary apparitions, how and why professionals go about discovering comets, and upcoming plans to visit comets with space probes (and later, perhaps, human visits). Illustrations provide historic images of comets, images from space probes and images of the latest bright comets. Orbital plots and easy-to-follow sky charts are also included.
This book is a unique guide that sets the scene by giving a comprehensive history of comets and examples of great comets throughout history and informs the reader about the nature and originsof this spectacular occurence. Expectations are fully covered by explaining not only what the regular person can expect to see, but how amateur astronomers can plan observations and what steps the professionals are taking to ‘get the most science’ from this exciting event.
Introduction: Setting the scene for C/2012 S1 (ISON) and incoming comets.- What is a comet and where do they come from? (Primordial leftovers, Oort Cloud, etc).- Portents of change and doom (historical perspectives on comets, myths and superstitions, end of world predictions, hyperbole).- Great comets (including Halley’s Comet, Ikeya-Seki, IRAS-Araki-Alcock, Hyakutake, Hale-Bopp, McNaught, etc).- Comets up close observations by space probes (VeGa, Giotto, ICE, Deep Impact, etc).- C/2012 S1 and selected bright comets of the future (discovery, magnitude predictions, paths through Solar System).

Sky watchers will have already been primed for C/2012 (ISON) earlier in 2013 with the apparition of another naked-eye comet, C/2011 L4 (PanSTARRS), and following C/2012 S1 (ISON) there is the prospect of 2012 K1 (PanSTARRS) reaching naked-eye visibility in August 2014. And there will be other bright cometary prospects in the near future, if we take into account the latest predictions.
This book sets the scene for the arrival of Comet C/2012 S1 and those comets following it over the next few years. It explains how sky watchers and amateur astronomers can practically follow comets, observe them, and record them. This is also a guide on how to keep abreast of the latest cometary discoveries and how to use publications, websites, programs, and apps to visualize and plan observations. The book includes:
· descriptions of the nature, origins and observing history of comets
· a detailed guide to seeing and studying what could be the greatest comet of modern times
· specially prepared maps covering bright cometary apparitions of the next few years.
· Illustrations of recent naked-eye comets and space probe images of large comets.
Detailed guide to seeing and studying what may possibly be the greatest comet of modern times, due to approach Earth fall of 2013 Includes set of specially prepared maps (fully labeled) covering bright cometary apparitions of the next few years Covers recent naked-eye comets and space probe images of large comets Comets explained in detail – their nature, their origins and a history of our observation of them Written by an experienced astronomer who has been actively observing bright comets since 1983 Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
