About this conversation
In this week’s episode we discussed the extraordinary journey of 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed interstellar object ever observed. Discovered on July 1, 2025, by the Asteroid Terrestrial‑impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) survey in Chile, this comet-like object arrived on a hyperbolic trajectory, came around our Sun, and will soon depart back into the galaxy.
