UPDATED Lovejoy - The OTHER Comet

Hey Space Placers!

UPDATED:

Read about how to see Comet Lovejoy in the predawn sky here: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/home/Lovely-Comet-Lovejoy-234492641.html


Although Comet ISON was getting all of the attention - I will have another Comet ISON post tomorrow - Comet Lovejoy has been putting on a fine show in the pre-dawn sky.

This photograph was taken on the 3rd with the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii and shows incredible detail in the tail:


You can download the pic and zoom in to really see the streamers in the tail here as well as learn more:
