#27: What's really happening with 3I/ATLAS?

from The Space Between · host Fractal Studios Podcast Network

In this episode of The Space Between, Kolby and Dawson dive headlong into the extraordinary cosmic guests gracing our solar system in 2025—starting with 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed interstellar object ever observed. Is it a comet from a forgotten star system older than our own… or, as some have (controversially) speculated, an alien probe with a cloaked mission? We break down the hard science, the wild theories, and everything in between as this icy wanderer makes its high-speed fly-by of the Sun.Then, we turn our gaze outward—way outward—to Ammonite (2023 KQ14), a newly discovered sednoid lurking beyond Pluto’s orbit. With a path untouched for billions of years, Ammonite could be a fossilized remnant of the solar system’s chaotic birth... or the key to cracking the mystery of Planet Nine. Either way, it’s turning heads and rewriting the map of the solar system’s edge.---ChatGPT Deep Research: https://chatgpt.com/s/dr_689eb892a0248191af6fc7bcb46044e7YouTube Clip: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/G6eqH0mYfUMSkyLive 3I/ATLAS: 3I/ATLAS: A Month-by-Month Observing Guide | TheSkyLive---Follow us on Instagram! ⁠https://instagram.com/spacebetweenpod⁠Pre-order Kolby's new album! ⁠https://kolbyvancamp.hearnow.com/portraits-volume-ii⁠
