Comet Lovejoy (C/2013 R1) reached perihelion (its closest approach to the Sun) December 22, 2013. This image, taken more than a week later, shows the comet is still active. Lovejoy is a long-period comet. It won’t return for some 7,000 years. (4-inch Takahashi 106ED refractor at f/5, SBIG STL-11000M CCD camera, LRGB image with exposures of 25, 10, 7.5, and 7.5 minutes, respectively, taken December 31, 2013, between 3h10m UT and 4h25m UT).
