Description

About it:

C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy was discovverd by Terry Lovejoy in August of 2014 from his observatory in Brisbane, Australia.

This long-period comet ( originated from the Oort cloud ) was an easy target for amateur astronomers...

Its blue-green glow is the result of organic molecules and water released by the comet fluorescing under the harsh UV and optical light of the sun as it passes through space.



When entering the planetary région , C/2014 Q2 had her orbital period changed. From now on her new orbital period is about 8000 years !!!
