All Things Space, UFOs, etc.NASA’s Hubble telescope spots K1 comet exploding into fragments, space agency says Posted on April 9, 2026 by Administrator 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 into at least four pieces between Nov. 8 and Nov. 10, NASA announced Wednesday. The blue-hued space shards were seen surrounded by a “fuzzy envelope of gas and dust” that envelops the comet’s icy nucleus in the ground-breaking telescopic images.
