by a telescope

Until recently, the only way scientists have been able to study comets is by telescope. However, the ESA's recent Rosetta mission finally reached the destination of its decade-long journey and is currently orbiting a comet. It has even sent out a small lander that has landed on the surface! This mission has advanced our understanding of comets by leaps and bounds.
