I welcome inquiries from the media.

I've spent a lifetime studying the subject of Comets, and collecting stories, photographs, and illustrations. The text is the result of many years' research and personal observation. It is provided here for informational and educational purposes.

There is a wealth of information available within this site. It can provide useful and accurate background material for comet and meteor shower stories. You are welcome to cite this material within a story if you credit me and my site: From Gary W. Kronk's Cometography Web Site (http://cometography.com).

I am often contacted by reporters from all media for background information and quotes for stories pertaining to comets and meteor showers, and especially the history of discoveries and observations. I've been interviewed many times in recent years due to the public's growing interest in these subjects, and the appearance of bright comets and spectacular meteor showers. I always welcome this opportunity to spread the word about my favorite subjects. Please contact me and I will be glad to assist in any way that I can.
