Comet Lovejoy is now visible in our night skies. It passed closest to Earth on January 7th 2014 where it was 70.2 million kilometers away, and is now appearing brighter in our night sky. With the moon not being a hindrance, viewing this comet has been made a lot easier. It is a fourth magnitude object and was discovered by the Australian amateur astronomer Terry Lovejoy.
