The Interstellar Comet That’s Rewriting the Rules

Astronomers have spotted a rare cosmic visitor: 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed object ever seen entering our solar system from another star. Following the mysteries of ʻOumuamua and the revelations of 2I/Borisov, this new interstellar comet is unlike anything seen before—moving on a one-way path, activating far from the Sun, and made of unexpected materials.

In this episode, we break down what scientists know so far, why they’re certain it’s interstellar, and what its strange chemistry, dust, and behavior can tell us about planets forming around distant stars. More than just a passing comet, 3I/ATLAS may represent a whole new class of objects—ancient messengers carrying clues from deep within the Milky Way.
