Title: The Ancestry Mystery: Why Interstellar Objects Are Suddenly Flooding In — And What They’re Telling Us🛸 You’ve probably seen the headlines about 3I/ATLAS — the third interstellar object humanity has ever discovered. But here’s the deeper question: where did it come from? And why are we suddenly seeing so many of these alien visitors now?In this episode, we go beyond the headlines to ask the real questions:What makes 3I/ATLAS chemically unlike any comet we’ve seen?Why are carbon-chain molecules missing — and why is it loaded with CO₂?Where could something like this form in the galaxy?And most importantly… why are these objects appearing now, when we never saw them before?This isn’t just about one object. It’s a new era in astronomy. These aren’t just rocks — they’re messages from other star systems.We’ll dive into:⛏️ The forensic chemistry of 3I/ATLAS🧪 Why carbon-chain depletion matters📡 What previous ISOs (ʻOumuamua, Borisov) tell us🛰️ The role of new telescopes like Rubin & NEO Surveyor🌌 Theories about formation in cold disks, low-metallicity systems, or chaotic environments🚀 The future of ISO interception missions💬 And what it all means for understanding planetary systems across the Milky Way📍 TimestampsIntro: You’ve seen the headlinesWhat is 3I/ATLAS?A comet with missing piecesʻOumuamua and Borisov: setting the stageWhy now?
