Our New Visitor Isn't a Comet. So What I...

Byte & Pieces
About this episode
First, there was 'Oumuamua. Now, there's another one. Is our solar system becoming a tourist hot-spot for... something else?

Meet 3I/Atlas, the third interstellar object ever detected visiting our cosmic neighborhood. But this visitor is acting bizarre. It’s not behaving like any comet we've ever seen. It started glowing when it was still deep in the freezing void, it's venting a strange mix of gases, and it has a "smoking gun" anomaly that has scientists completely baffled: it's shedding nickel, but with no iron. That's not supposed to happen.

In this episode, we are on the case of the greatest cosmic mystery of our time. We'll break down the strange evidence and explore the wild theories, from a new kind of natural object to the one on everyone's mind: is this an alien probe? An extraterrestrial artifact?

This isn't just speculation. We'll reveal the real, high-stakes plans being scrambled into action to get a closer look, including a potential high-speed intercept by the Juno probe before this object escapes our grasp forever.

The race is on to identify our visitor. Subscribe now as we track this cosmic enigma on its journey through our solar system. Share this with anyone who's ever looked up at the stars and wondered... are we about to get an answer?
