The HST image in the paper with Helen as co-author mentioned above is very impressive too.

Working with my old school ! Though it was just Coopers’ Company and in the East End back then

EDIT: I see ChatGP failed to spot the missing apostrophe in the paper

I’ll make sure we do better on the apostrophe next time Robin!

We did a remote Work Experience with the school (and one in Cardiff) in July. The students made observations of 3I during the week and those got used in 2 previous papers (we even managed to get them individually name-checked in one, which has proven quite useful for University applications!). And 4 of the 7 students at Coopers’ have continued working with me (and the Comet Chasers project) making comet observations. They have engaged really well, and I’m very much enjoying working with them and their Physics teacher. It is a change working with 17 year olds instead of 10 year olds!

If you want to read a bit more about the Work Experience then I did an article for the latest E&O section newsletter https://britastro.org/section_news_item/education-and-outreach-section-newsletter-edition-4-november-2025

We’re getting our Comet Chasers on it. It is well timed as we’ve got a photo shoot for a new space magazine lined up for Friday, so that will add some special interest 😎

I just wanted to add my congratulations too Dr Andy! Its a huge achievement, having overcome many challenges along the way.

Best wishes for your post doc

Thanks Denis 🙂  for both the data and the reference

I have time on the Faulkes Telescope and so was hoping to gather some useful data on this comet – no chance of doing it from home!

This looks worth following up 🙂 I tried to get the ephemerides from JPL/MPC but inputting DM001 is not recognised.  Any guidance on what/where to search for would be welcomed. 

Thanks
