This image, taken on January 12, 2015, displays Comet Lovejoy sweeping across the starry sky - specifically the constellation Taurus (the Bull). You can spot Lovejoy on the right hand side, it almost looks like it was shot from Orion's bow.  Note the greenish tint that is possesses. 

Here's a highlighted view of the comet:


Hoping to spot this comet within the next few days! 

Godspeed,
M'lonie
