	Donati, Giovanni Battista (1826-1873)
		An Italian astronomer who carried out early spectroscopic studies of the Sun and stars and was the first to obtain and analyze the spectrum of a comet, concluding that comets are, at least in part, gaseous.
		These same lines were seen in an 1866 comet by Angelo Secchi, and shown by William Huggins in 1868 to be due to the presence of carbon.
		After graduating from the university in his native city of Pisa, Donati joined the staff of the Florence Observatory in 1852 and was appointed director in 1864.

	Donati's Comet
		It was on this date, June 2, 1858, that Italian astronomer Giovanni Battista Donati (1826-1873) observed and recorded the first appearance of the comet that bears his name today.
		By the time of Donati's discovery in 1858, the appearance of comets, while still a wonder to behold, was no longer taken as a sign from God.
		Donati estimated that his comet has an orbital period of more than 2000 years, so perhaps we humans, if we do not annihilate ourselves in the meantime, will cast off a few more superstitions by the time Donati's Comet returns!

	Giovanni Battista Donati - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Giovanni Battista Donati (December 16, Pisa,Italy, 1826 – September 20, 1873,Florence, Italy) was an Italian astronomer.
		He also pioneered spectroscopy of comets to determine their physical composition, discovering that the spectrum changed when a comet approached the Sun and heating caused it to emit its own light rather than reflected sunlight.

		Donati was an Italian astronomer who, on 5 August 1864, was the first to observe the spectrum of a comet (Comet 1864 II).
		This observation indicated correctly that comet tails contain luminous gas and do not shine merely by reflected sunlight.
		He also discovered the comet now known as Donati's Comet at Florence on 2 June 1858.

	Comets \| World of Physics
		The overall mass of a comet is very small in comparison with a planet and spectroscopic analysis is utilized to determine the actual composition of comets.
		In 1864, Italian astronomer Giovanni Battista Donati was first astronomer to study the spectrum of a comet contained within the reflected solar light returned from a comet.
		While some cometary processes are still not completely understood, the typical comet appears to contain a nucleus that may measure a few miles in diameter in larger comets.

	Conclusion (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Huggins had little to offer Turner on the first count, but he was happy to provide a brief chronology of events related to spectroscopic examination of starlight.
		In 1893, Huggins could afford to be generous on the matter of priority in this instance since he clearly could stake no claim for himself, having been the last of these men to subject starlight to spectroscopic study.
		Nevertheless, Huggins dismissed Donati's measures as unreliable, and, in a postscript, he reminded Turner that Rutherfurd had abandoned this line of investigation soon after conceiving it.
