The breakup of C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, opens a window into how fragile comet nuclei evolve and collapse.

In a stroke of luck, astronomers saw the comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) break into four or five fragments in November after it passed close to the sun.

In a happy twist of fate, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope witnessed a comet in the act of breaking apart. The chance of that happening while Hubble watched is extraordinarily minuscule. The findings are ...
