Comet 2019 Y4 (ATLAS) is fragmenting & disintegrating
On April 6, 2020, astronomers reported, on The Astronomer's Telegram, the possible disintegration of Comet ATLAS. The comet has fragmented into several pieces. The fragmentation may be the result of the outgassing causing an increase in centrifugal force of the comet. This Composite image includes 5 inverted images (taken by me) of the core taken on the 31st. March, 5th. 8th. 9th. & 11th. April 2020 showing how in 12 days the core has changed and faded considerably.
