Baltimore (SPX) May 02, 2006 - The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is providing
astronomers with extraordinary views of comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 as it
disintegrates before our eyes. Recent Hubble images have uncovered many more
fragments than have been reported by ground-based observers. These observations
provide an unprecedented opportunity to study the demise of a comet nucleus.
