Scientific paper

Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 split in 1995. One of its fragments was not found during the return of the comet in 2001. The next return, in 2006, was characterized by several cascading splitting events of the remaining fragments. About one month before perihelion the fragments approached Earth at distances less than 0.1 AU. We present analysis of the fragmentation events and address the question ``Could some of the dust particles, released during the fragmentation, cross the orbit of Earth?''
