NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a rare cosmic moment: a comet breaking apart in real time.

And now it's 250 million miles away.

Images were captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, which was meant to be observing a different comet ...

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.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a rare moment involving the comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) as it began breaking apart. Events like this are not of.

A last-minute target switch led researchers to Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), which Hubble then watched split into at least four pieces.

A chance change in plans helped the Hubble Space Telescope capture an uncommon event in November 2025: a comet breaking apart.

C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) was on its way out of the solar system when it did the fateful thing that many comets do. Reading time 3 ...

NASA’s Hubble telescope captured an “extraordinarily” rare moment of a comet exploding into fragments, the space agency said. The comet K1, whose full name is C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), was caught fragmenting ...

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 ...

Space scientists have captured a comet breaking into pieces by accident. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope witnessed the ...

The discovery of CDG-2 began when a team of astronomers investigated tight groupings of stars called globular clusters, which ...
