Christmas Comet (and Fox)

On Christmas morning I saw Comet Lovejoy!
Then while driving home I saw a fox wandering the streets near my house!

It should still be possible to see this comet in the morning sky for the next week or so (maybe). Look low in the south-east just before sunrise (if in Australia). You really need a dark sky to see it with the naked eye. I was barely able to see it through the glare from the city of Sydney.

Here are some much better pictures of the comet taken by other people:

@XrotarebiL I knew there were foxes around but I've never seen one in the suburbs.
