An astronomer from New Zealand has played a significant part in the latest discovery of a comet. This green-colored comet was first spotted by a Queensland man six days ago.
Astrophotographer Terry Lovejoy discovered his comet not by any telescopic devices, but by taking a series of shots using a Canon digital camera.
In the early morning of March 15th Mr. Lovejoy observed a fuzzy, greenish spot that had slightly shifted on some series of shots.
In fact, it is the first time anyone has discovered a comet using a digital camera. Officially this new spot is labeled as C2007 E2. The name of the comet is Lovejoy, to honor its discoverer.
Currently the celestial object is too faint to see, but telescopes and astronomical binoculars. But it is expected to brighten in April and most likely it will become visible to smaller binoculars and spotting scopes.

Look outside of you window, spring is already there, and the summertime is approaching with very big steps. Now you can easily go outside after dark, and look up over your head. Have you tried doing it? If no, now is your chance! Look into the dark gorgeous sky and with the help of your astronomical binoculars (or if you have good eyesight even without them) you'll see three brilliant bright stars making a huge triangle. These stars will be visible the most in July-August. These three stars: Vega, Deneb and Altair form a well known Summer Triangle. Vega is the brightest of three, and Deneb, on the contrary, appears to be the dimmest. This triangle connects the constellations Lyra, Aquila the Eagle and Cygnus the Swan. This summer triangle will lie high above, over the Milky Way.

So, don't waste your life, don't be a couch potato, take your binoculars, go out and enjoy the night sky, and all miracles you'll be able to find there!

Clear skies to you!
