The Cometary Science Newsletter http://www.cometarysciencenews.org/

The Cometary Science Newsletteris dedicated to sharing and furthering cometary science. CSN invites contributions from the astronomical and planetary science communities, including abstracts of papers accepted for publication in refereed journals, thesis abstracts, timely notes on particular comets, conference announcements, job announcements, or other relevant and brief scientific communications. Relevant topics include observational, theoretical, and laboratory work concerning comets, but also may include studies of associated phenomena, such as Centaurs, asteroid-comet transition objects, debris disks, and protoplanetary disks.

Welcome to CometWatch! Your Hosts are Nick Evetts & Neil Norman, Two British Comet Observers & Imagers. In our Fifth show we discuss the current Comets and chat with Tony Angel & Nick Howes and we ask them some questions
