Description

Is it a comet, a spaceship, or a cosmic alchemist? ☄️ Just when we thought we understood the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS, it did something impossible: it stopped glowing green and started glowing gold.

In this episode, we dive deep into the mind-bending analysis by geophysicist Stefan Burns, who proposes a theory that could rewrite our understanding of comets. We explore the strange color shift of 3I/ATLAS—from deep red, to nickel-green, and now to a brilliant gold as it enters the constellation of Leo. Is this just a coincidence, or a cosmic signal?

Join us as we break down the hard science behind the spectacle. We discuss the baffling discovery of nickel emission without iron (a chemical impossibility for normal comets!) and break down Burns' theory of metal carbonyls and nickel tetracarbonyl. Was 3I/ATLAS a thermally processed short-period comet that "picked up" exotic metals during its lonely journey between stars?

We also cover:
  • The "Alchemy" of Space: How heat and chemistry are changing the object's color in real-time.
  • Closest Approach to Earth: What to expect when this golden traveler swings by on December 19th.
  • The eerie synchronicity of a "Golden Comet" entering the Lion's Gate.


Whether you are a hard-science geek or a seeker of cosmic mysteries, this episode connects the dots between observational data and the thrill of the unknown.
