Remarkable eastern comet splits into eight parts

The morning sky shows a prominent comet observed by Prof. Lewis Swift of Warner Observatory Rochester N Y who notes it split into eight distinct segments after grazing the sun. Only Biellis 1846 event had produced two parts. Prize offers exist for each reported offshoot, with a $200 reward per finding. The future of further comets from this body remains uncertain.
