The first image of #3IAtlas from ESA's JUICE mission is in!

I reprocessed the image to remove hot pixels (left) and the stars (right) to make the tail easier to see.

EDIT: The starless image was updated with a cleaner version.

The same image, but with the stars removed, showing 3I/Atlas in the center, visible as a bright fuzzy object with a faint tail pointing upward.
With no stars in the image, the tail is easier to make out, it appears to be a little undulated.
