In this episode, we explore the recent discovery of 3I/ATLAS, a comet traveling through our solar system from another star. As the third known interstellar object, it offers a rare chance to study materials from beyond our stellar neighborhood. Detected by NASA’s ATLAS program in Chile, this cosmic traveler reminds us how much we still have to learn about other planetary systems — and the importance of watching the skies, just in case something unexpected comes to visit.
