PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- Comets are a natural phenomenon that are more violent than earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tornadoes put together. The Story of Comets explores these unpredictable cosmic icebergs, which travel up to 100 times the speed of sound. Viewers discover the surprising influence comets have had over life on Earth, and follow a space mission sent to collect a sample of comet stardust for analysis. Will scientists unravel the mystery of comets and their impact on planets? Part of the multivolume Cosmic Odyssey Video Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"...exceptional...Well narrated...concepts and theories are explained with dazzling graphics, simulations, animations and occasional NASA supplied real visual data...The lure of cosmic mysteries in this excellent series is compelling and thought-provoking. This series will be very useful for high school astronomy and physics courses..."- School Library Journal (Sept 2003)
"This series would be a great addition to the astronomy classroom. The videos will pique the interest of students and encourage new approaches to the subject. They are a great introduction and should provide new ideas to explore. Highly recommended."- Library Media Connection (Jan 2004)
