Comet
=====
`VOEvent `_ is the `International Virtual Observatory
Alliance `_ standard for describing transient celestial
events. Comet is an implementation of the `VOEvent Transport Protocol
`_, which provides a
mechanism for fast and reliable distribution of VOEvents to the community.
Comet enables you to subscribe to and act upon real-time streams of ongoing
events, to use filters to select only events relevant to your science case and
to publish your own events to the global VOEvent backbone.
