An astronomical sight

Last night I was sitting in my car at work, waiting for the windscreen to defrost before I drove home and when I looked over into the horizon I saw a most amazing sight - a comet!!!

I've never seen one before, so to be sure I went home and looked it up on the internet and sure enough, there were many others who had sighted the same comet over the past few days!

How cool is that!

Here are a few more pics from Christmas/New Years:
