Abstract: Detecting comets is of considerable practical interest, given the need to predict the hazards to Earth they may pose. A detection now comes from an unusual source, the SWAN system carried on a spacecraft. The comet was identified not from its emissions of visible light but from its ultraviolet Lyman-α radiation.
