About this episode
Imagine looking up at the sky tonight and knowing that out there—invisible to the naked eye—a mysterious object is hurtling through our solar system. A visitor from the unimaginable depths of the galaxy that has been wandering through space for over 9 billion years. Longer than our entire solar system has existed. This cosmic wanderer is called 3I/ATLAS, and its story is a thriller full of mysteries, scientific controversies, and a question that should concern us all: Are we really alone in the universe?Oumuamua, Borisov, and Atlas fascinate laypeople and scientists alike. I’ve compiled everything there is to know about them.—–Music: Skies Speak – Landscape, Theatre of Delays – HorizonAuthor: Cris Frickenschmidt
