[BAA Comets] 168p fragmentation

[denis buczynski]

Hello all

There has been further evidence of the break up of this comet with news of observations from the 
Mauna Kea in this press release.

"Using the National Optical Astronomy Observatory's Gemini North Telescope on top of Mauna Kea, 
Hawaii, we have resolved that the nucleus of the comet has separated into at least four distinct 
pieces resulting in a large increase in dust material in its coma."
