The *other* potentially quite interesting April #comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS) has been recovered in morning twilight: https://groups.io/g/comets-ml/message/34973 - it "has brightened nicely since my last observation on February 9 when it was in evening twilight at magnitude 13.3, magnitude calculations on the mornings of February 27/28 found the comet at magnitude 11.1 and 10.7 but I am sure the coma is a lot bigger and not fully reflected in these magnitude measurements."

The Cardinalities of Intervals of Equational Theories and Logics
Juan P. Aguilera, Nick Bezhanishvili, Tenyo Takahashi
https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.27203 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.27203 https://arxiv.org/html/2603.27203
arXiv:2603.27203v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study the cardinality of classes of equational theories (varieties) and logics by applying descriptive set theory. We affirmatively solve open problems raised by Jackson and Lee [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 370 (2018), pp. 4785-4812] regarding the cardinalities of subvariety lattices, and by Bezhanishvili et al. [J. Math. Log. (2025), in press] regarding the degrees of the finite model property (fmp). By coding equations and formulas by natural numbers, and theories and logics by real numbers, we examine their position in the Borel hierarchy. We prove that every interval of equational theories in a countable language corresponds to a $\boldsymbol{\Pi}^0_1$ set, and every fmp span of a normal modal logic to a $\boldsymbol{\Pi}^0_2$ set. It follows that they have cardinality either $\leq \aleph_0$ or $2^{\aleph_0}$, provably in ZFC. In the same manner, we observe that the set of pretabular extensions of a tense logic is a $\boldsymbol{\Pi}^0_2$ set, so its cardinality is either $\leq \aleph_0$ or $2^{\aleph_0}$. We also point out a negative solution to another open problem raised by Jackson and Lee [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 370 (2018), pp. 4785-4812] regarding the existence of independent systems, which relies on Je\v{z}ek et al. [Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 42 (1990), pp. 57-70].
