🌌✨ 北行中的彗星 Lovejoy (C/2014 Q2) 正在為觀星者帶來最佳秀場，特別是在一月中早晚的天空中，月光幾乎缺席。這顆彗星在漆黑的夜空中是個容易用雙筒望遠鏡觀察的目標，並且在黑暗地點的肉眼也能看到。彗星正穿過金牛座 (Taurus the Bull)，這幅深夜星空景象是於一月十二日於懷俄明州的傑克遜霍爾 (Jackson Hole, Wyoming) 捕捉的。實際上，金牛座的V形海亞德星團 (Hyades) 指向彗星 Lovejoy。彗星的綠色彗發和尾巴朝著反向太陽方向延展，似乎從獵戶座 (Orion) 的弓上射出。在畫面的左右兩邊，我們可以看到獵戶座這個星雲豐富的星座。

原文:
Heading north, Comet Lovejoy (C/2014 Q2) is putting on its best show for comet watchers now, with moonlight absent from mid-January’s early evening skies. An easy binocular target and just visible to the unaided eye from dark sites, the comet sweeps across the constellation Taurus the Bull in this deep night skyscape. The starry scene was captured just two days ago on January 12, from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, planet Earth. In fact, the head of Taurus formed by the V-shaped Hyades star cluster points toward Lovejoy at the right. The comet’s greenish coma and tail streaming in the anti-sunward direction also seem to have been shot from Orion’s bow. You can spot the familiar stars of the nebula rich constellation of the Hunter on the left, and follow this link to highlight Comet Lovejoy in the wide field of view.
