" This discovery is particularly interesting in that Euclid was not purposed to find comets, the comet found has a non ecliptic trajectory which is unusual and that this is the first comet discovered by a space telescope. We live in exciting and interesting times" - Joel Cairo CEO of the Jodrell  Plank Observatory the UK's most easterly Astronomical Observatory.
