Disintegrating Comet - multiple fragments can be seen.
"On the night of April 23 to 24, ESO's Very Large Telescope observed fragment B of the comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 that had split a few days earlier. To their great surprise, the ESO astronomers discovered that the piece just ejected by fragment B was splitting again! Five other mini-comets are also visible on the image. The comet seems thus doomed to disintegrate but the question remains in how much time."

It's 5.4 year elongated orbit will ultimatley be its death sentence.
A fascinating story...
