Comet Lovejoy and zodiacal light in City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico

January 16, 2015 - A scene looking west with a field stretching up to and beyond the zenith overhead, taking in the zodiacal light stretching up to the Pleiades at upper left. Just to the right of the Pleiades is green Comet Lovejoy, with its faint ion tail pointing away from the Sun along the same plane as the aodiacal light. Ion tails always point directly away from the Sun, as they are blown out by the solar wind. Comet Lovejoy was crossing the ecliptic this night, as it heads north in its orbit traveling almost perpendicular to the ecliptic plane. Also in the field at centre is a short streak of a meteor, apparently shooting toward the Sun as well.
