Finding Comet Lovejoy

A great week to see the comet, even in a city-

Comet-Lovejoy

-with the help of Orion, who has graciously been nice enough to keep his belt pointed at our green visitor for the next few days. (see chart below)
Just after dark (and until midnight in most of the Northern Hemisphere) you can follow the 3 stars to see the faint fuzzy object. In rural areas free from light pollution you should be able to see it with the naked eye. In cities you may need binoculars but it should be visible.

  1. I just went outside and saw it easily with binoculars even though I’m in the middle of San Francisco.
