Bill Cooke, seorang astronom NASA, menjelaskan bahwa komet sering kali rapuh karena dampak panas matahari terhadap es air dan gas-gas volatile seperti karbon monoksida dan dioksida. Meski demikian, Tsuchinshan-ATLAS tetap utuh dan menjadi tontonan langka bagi pengamat langit. (REUTERS/David Swanson)
