Comet Lovejoy C/2014 Q2 is a name that imparts such a compelling vision of spirituality that it's scarcely necessary to write. It immediately gets me thinking of angels and trumpets, peace on Earth, and maybe some GMO vegetables.
(Ed: Vegetables?)
The comet is green and Kermit the Comet is a little hard to accept but he's up there right now and is just becoming visible.
(Ed: Hogwash!)
Oh really.
I did not Photoshop the image to make a dumb joke. Astronomers say it glows green because of a high proportion of cyanogens and molecular carbon in the gas blowing off it. (The Conversation: A Christmas comet to be seen from dark skies)
