Comet Lovejoy - 5 Jan.2014 (Click for a larger view and details). |
Comet Lovejoy is fading, but continues to put on a good show. The shot at right was taken on Sunday morning (5 Jan. 2014).
In case you missed the news, Comet ISON did not survive its close encounter with the sun. The SOHO probe shows the comet leaving the vicinity of the sun, but no one has detected any trace of it since then.
