Check yourself before you wreck yourself! This NASAHubble image reveals the gradual self-destruction of an asteroid, whose ejected dusty material has formed two comet-like tails. The longer tail stretches more than 500,000 miles and is roughly 3,000 miles wide. The shorter tail is about a quarter as long. The streamers will eventually disperse into space.
