Mini-comets coming off comet SW-3
Image of Fragment B and associated mini-comets. This is a digitally-enhanced zoom-in version of ESO Press Photo eso0615 to show in a better way some of the smaller fragments. An arrow indicates the fragments that could be seen, including the main one - on top, the two just below that have just split and five others, much dimmer.
