Christmas Comet Lovejoy!

I was lucky enough to see Comet Lovejoy this morning (Christmas Eve morning). What a great name for a Christmas comets (and how fortunate that Terry Lovejoy was the discoverer!). Photographed near Gerringong, NSW:

And if that was not enough, the International Space Station decided to fly by, only moments later :)

Comments welcome. :)



P.S. I have received some reports claiming that it's not the ISS, but Santa and his reindeer getting up to speed! :)
