Comet by Carl Sagan

Comet by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan explores the science, history, and mythology of comets—the mysterious travelers of our solar system. The book explains how comets form, their role in shaping planets, and their possible connection to both the origin and extinction of life on Earth. Sagan also traces how comets influenced human imagination, inspiring fear, awe, and discovery across cultures. Beautifully illustrated, it combines astronomy, storytelling, and history in Sagan’s signature poetic style.
