Details:
As one can see thanks to the detailed images taken by G. Masi Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) has finally fragmented, most expected the comet to fragment before it reached perihelion back on 2025 October 8. In my low-resolution images one can only see maybe a couple fuzzy areas of fragments behind the comet nucleus since the images were taken with only a small 50mm f/5 Refractor in high cloud conditions, certainly nowhere near the clear fragments that G. Masi can show us with his 14" telescope. The comet was measured at magnitude G=9.5 with a 3' wide coma and 10' long tail.
