Our part of the solar system welcomed a new visitor in late 2011. On November 27, 2011, Terry Lovejoy of Australia reported it as "a rapidly moving fuzzy object" in the nighttime sky. A few days later, the comet sighting was confirmed by a team using the Mount John University Observatory's telescope.
