An image taken last night clearly shows fragment B has split into two
roughly equal brightness components.

Interesting! That's a great image Robin!

I did not notice a double nucleus when observing B & C visually on 4/19 and
4/20 (both nights about 2UT). I wonder if B will survive for close approach?
