dc.description.abstractOn 02 June 1858 at the Observatory of Florence, Giambattista Donati (1826–1873) discovered a faint nebulous patch what was destined to become one of the most brilliant comets in history. Named after him, Donati’s Comet (1858 VI; C/1858 L1 (Donati)) enthralled sky watchers in Europe and elsewhere like never before. This paper brings together tales of the observations of this comet made in India. Ironically, the celestial visitor happened to rise in India’s most turbulent times. It was seen by many as a baleful sign out to ruin and observed by some for scienceen_US
