And here is now also a spectrum of #comet #3I/ATLAS taken during the #ShadowTheScientists session on 26 November, from https://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=17561 - CN (388 nm), C3 (402 nm) and C2 (474 nm/517 nm) are detected. Meanwhile the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.18341 concludes from the non-gravitational acceleration that the diameter of the comet's nucleus is 820 to1050 m.
