Comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy, a long period comet with an orbital period of 8,000 years has been putting on quite a show for skywatchers across planet Earth. Lovejoy has moved high in the skies of the Northern Hemisphere as it makes it way towards perihelion, its closest point to the Sun. The comet's tail has been very exciting to watch as it has been subject to frequent disconnect events spawned by interactions with the solar wind and CME activity.

In this photo captured at Frosty Drew Observatory in January 16, 2015; Comet Lovejoy is seen with a super sexy tail passing about 4º from the Pleiades Open Star Cluster (Messier 45).
