  We observe bright matter-wave solitons form during the collapse of 85Rb
condensates in a three-dimensional magnetic trap. The collapse is induced by
using a Feshbach resonance to suddenly switch the atomic interactions from
repulsive to attractive. Remnant condensates containing several times the
critical number of atoms for the onset of instability are observed to survive
the collapse. Under these conditions a highly robust configuration of solitons
forms such that each soliton satisfies the condition for stability and
neighboring solitons exhibit repulsive interactions.
