Comet Lovejoy survives perihelion!

Right now, Comet Lovejoy, while not all that far from the Sun, is positioned so that it can be seen and/or photographed from the Southern Hemisphere, where is which it will remain for about a month or so. However, come mid January, the comet will make an appearance in the Northern Hemisphere.

Come a month's time, look for unmistakable Orion, the king of winter. Orion found, look down, almost to the horizon, where the comet will appear, the only question being one of 'how bright will it be?'

btw..I'm assuming there is still a possibility of Lovejoy becoming a great comet similar to Ikeya-Seki in 1965
