El telescopio espacial Hubble captó accidentalmente la fragmentación del cometa C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) en noviembre de 2025. Originalmente, los astrónomos planeaban observar otro cometa, pero debido a problemas técnicos, apuntaron el Hubble hacia K1. Las imágenes revelaron que el cometa se había roto en al menos cuatro pedazos, cada uno rodeado de su propia coma de gas y polvo. Este evento fortuito permitió a los científicos observar de cerca la desintegración de un cometa proveniente de las regiones más lejanas del sistema solar, un fenómeno raro y difícil de presenciar. Mientras que los telescopios terrestres solo mostraban manchas borrosas, el Hubble pudo distinguir claramente los fragmentos y seguir su evolución.
