See Pic! NASA's Hubble space telescope captures incredible image of a comet breaking apart

NASA's Hubble space telescope has captured amazing images of the most detailed observation of a comet breaking apart 108 million kilometres from Earth. The images were taken over three days in January 2016, Hubble showed 25 fragments consisting of a mixture of ice and dust that are drifting away from the comet at a pace equivalent to the walking speed of an adult, said lead researcher David Jewitt from University of California, Los Angeles. Using NASA’s Hubble space telescope, astronomers have captured this Their shapes change, too, as they break apart. The Hubble images show that the parent comet changes brightness frequently, completing a rotation every two to four hours.
