The Comet Lovejoy is a new rival to the possibly deceased comet ISON which is presumed lost in the glare of our sun. The Comet Lovejoy is just now passing the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) and is speeding towards the outer parts of our solar system. Considering its relatively close proximity, the comet can currently be seen with the unaided eye. Over the next few weeks, however, it will still be visible with binoculars.
