Exploration of Comets: Discoveries by SOHO, Giotto, and NASA Missions (1978-2014)

This article explores significant discoveries related to comets by various space missions including SOHO, ISEE-3/ICE, and ESA's Giotto. These missions provided invaluable insights into comets such as Giacobini-Zinner, Shoemaker-Levy 9, and 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. We discuss the artistic depictions of these celestial events, such as Giotto’s "Adoration of the Magi," and review critical missions like STARDUST and Deep Impact that have enhanced our understanding of cometary bodies.
