Details:
Comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy in Conjunction with M79 on December 29th, 05:31ut. M79 (NGC 1904) is a globular cluster in the Lepus constellation. It is thought that M79 is not native to the Milky Way galaxy at all, but instead to the putative Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy which is currently experiencing a very close encounter with the Milky Way. This is, however, a contentious subject as astronomers are still debating the nature of the Canis Major dwarf galaxy itself. (RGB-Filters)
