Description

Comet Lovejoy, composed of ice and dust, made its closest approach to the Earth 8 days after this image was taken. In order to reach a suitable observation site, my mom and I drove 5 hours to a small village in Hebei Province. In the freezing temperature of ‐15 degree centigrade, I managed to finish calibrating the equipment and to take long exposure images of Comet Lovejoy in spite of the numbness of my entire body. When I finally saw the cute greenish comet, all I felt were love and joy.
