Another comet Lovejoy!

It’s confirmed! Australian amateur astronomer Terry Lovejoy just discovered his fifth comet, C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy). He found it August 17th using a Celestron C8 fitted with a CCD camera at his roll-off roof observatory in Brisbane, Australia. Universe Today has an article with all the details HERE.

Congratulations, Terry, on finding yet another one! We hope it will be as spectacular as the "Christmas comet" of 2011 (C/2011 W3 Lovejoy).
