Hell, why not go the whole hog, er, samgyupsal, and turn that patriotism into nationalism?
KOREA DISCOVERS NEW COMET
But I'm playing silly buggers. It's a headline, and there's very little room to work with in a headline.
You could still pin 'em on the fact the said comet is probably millions of years old.

there was a typo mistake there. It should be Robert Matson, a known for his works on the Comet SWAN series

And it's still a world full of nations...
Yes, I know I was being punny, and picking on bad headlines. I thought it was amusing.
