Question

Comet Leaves Mystery Behind
What caused the comet’s explosion is not certain, but it may have collided with a small asteroid. Alternatively, an eruption of gas, ice and dust from within the heart of the comet may have blown up in the Sun’s heat, although the total amount of material ejected in such an explosion would probably be only about 1 per cent of the total mass of the comet. whereas the current explosion has more dust coming out as would happen if it was an asteroid. The latest report is a possible asteroid based on new findings by a past Nasa Astronomer Of The Week . Who works online for Space Environment Center who sent Don Yeomans of NASA's JPL comet /Asteroid team proof the sun did not activate the comet. Details as of who are not given at this point because of the many speculations that is was the sun based on the insane idea that astronomers think it underwent a similar explosion in November 1892.

I forgot the last part !

Lolz, looks like the asteroid made a like a popcorn and popped :)). As far as my memory leads me, i remember one more such incident with another asteroid which blew up and led to the formation of three smaller debris which were considerably small. They ended up burning in good ol' Mother Earth's atmosphere ^^
