Comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy
Feb 11, 2015
| The
tail has dimmed considerably in a visual sense, but the comet
can still be seen naked eye against the faint stars of Andromeda.
Star trails are much shorter now, as you can see in this image
because the comets motion against the starry backdrop during
the exposure has decreased markedly. |
