A lot of other people have been getting pictures of the green comet. If you can see the constellation Orion, you can probably spot Lovejoy.
You better catch the Comet "Lovejoy" this time around or you'll have to wait another 8,000 years http://t.co/UELCxKU88F

Check out the comet soon or you’ll have to wait 8,000 years for another chance.
