Episode 235: Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Feat. Dr. Avi Loeb

Welcome to Episode 235: Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Feat. Dr. Avi Loeb! This week, Aly and Nat blast off into deep space to uncover the mystery of 3I/ATLAS: a strange interstellar object hurtling through our solar system at over 130,000 miles per hour. Only the third object of its kind ever discovered, 3I/ATLAS has scientists buzzing with questions thanks to its bizarre behavior, like glowing and releasing gas long before it should and following a nearly perfect, eerily precise path through our planetary plane. Could this be a natural comet unlike anything we’ve seen before, or is it possible it’s something far more advanced? Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb joins the show to discuss whether 3I/ATLAS might actually be an alien probe on a reconnaissance mission. Buckle up for a wild ride through cosmic mystery, science, and the tantalizing possibility that we may not be alone.
