APOD8





This image shows Comet Lovejoy soaring past the constellation Cancer near M44 which can be seen in very dark skys. Discovered in September, it is the morning sky's brightest comet. You can also see Delta Canci towards the bottom of the image, a star in the constellation Cancer. I chose this photo because of its eye catching colors and image and its correlation to the constellation Cancer which we will soon be leraning about for future constellation quizzes.
