In this episode, we dive deep into 3I/ATLAS, the latest confirmed interstellar object, and explore the recent surge of comets entering our solar system in 2025. With increased media coverage and public interest in NEOs (Near-Earth Objects), cometary activity, and potential interstellar visitors, we examine what this "flock of comets" might mean โ€” and whether it's just a cosmic coincidence or something more.

๐Ÿ”ญ Topics covered:

What explains the Nickel Detected in 3I/ATLAS' coma?

Why are we seeing more new comets in 2025?

The overwhelming amount of Near Earth Objects

What options do we have to track 3I/ATLAS and what can we do in the future?

What is R2/Swan? And when to look for it.
