On the night of 23 to 24 April, the VLT ob-served fragment B of the comet Schwassmann- Wachmann 3 that had split a few days earlier. The ESO astronomers were sur-prised to discover that the piece just ejected by fragment B was splitting again. Five other mini-comets were also visible. The comet thus seems doomed to disintegrate but the question remains in how long a time.
