APOD from 2013-12-02
#Comet Lovejoy Before #Galaxy M63
Comet Lovejoy, recently discovered and near peak brightness, was seen before dawn passing galaxy M63. Visible to the naked eye from dark northern areas, it sports a green coma and ion tail. While Lovejoy heads back to the outer Solar System, remaining visible in binoculars for weeks, M63 stays constant in our sky.
