Giovanni Battista Donati (born Dec. 16, 1826,Pisa [Italy]—died Sept. 20, 1873, Florence) was an Italian astronomer who, on Aug. 5, 1864, was first to observe the spectrumof a comet. This observation indicated correctly that comet tails contain luminous gas and do not shine merely by reflected sunlight.

Comet Donati, or Donati's Comet  is a long-period comet named after the Italian astronomer Giovanni Battista Donati who first observed it on June 2, 1858. 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.
