-Next, please remove all entries for "Shoemaker-Levy 9" from the 
-file.  This comet crashed into Jupiter in 1993, so it no longer 
-exists (although it could be argued that we should keep it and 
-insert it in the sky for dates prior to the crash date).
+Next, please remove all comets whose names begin with "D/".  These

-Finally, also remove comets named "SOHO" or "SOLWIND".  These 
-comets are discovered by spacecraft monitoring the Sun, and 
-they actually fall into the Sun shortly after being discovered.
