Donatis Comet of 1858, artwork
Comet Donati, or Donatis Comet, formally designated C/1858 L1 and 1858 VI, was a comet named after the Italian astronomer Giovanni Battista Donati who first observed it on June 2, 1858. The comet is considered a non-periodic comet. After the Great Comet of 1811, it was the most brilliant comet that appeared in the 19th century. It was also the first comet to be photographed. It was nearest the Earth on October 10, 1858 and is expected to return in 39th century.Abraham Lincoln, then a candidate for a seat in the U.S. Senate, sat up on the porch of his hotel in Jonesboro, Illinois to see " Dontis Comet" on September 14, 1858, the night before the third of his historic debates with Stephen Douglas. Donatis Comet appears as a streak and star in the early evening sky of a painting by William Dyce, A Recollection of October 5th, 1858
