Dramatic images of 73P-G breakup!

Image Credit HUBBLE, click to enlarge

73P-G has broken up dramatically, go to Carl Hergenrother's site and scroll to the bottom for amazing images. Hubble also has some great images, and details here. Fragment B is rapdily evolving and has had a large outburst (see this nice image) and here is a good animation of 73P-B. Fragment R is in outburst. Fragment C is still magnitude 7.9 and is doing fine.









This image shows the location of fragments B, C and G in Corona borealis (click to enlarge)
