Our solar system just got a drive-by from deep space. Tonight we unpack interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS—what it is, how weird its chemistry looks under JWST, and why (sorry, doomsayers) it’s not a threat to Earth. We’ll hit the science, the origin theories, and the spiciest conspiracies—then separate facts from fear.
What we cover:
3I/ATLAS 101: discovery by the ATLAS survey, why it’s confirmed interstellar, and what “hyperbolic” really means.
Orbit & safety: perihelion late Oct 2025 (1.4 AU from the Sun) and closest to Earth ~1.8 AU—comfortably far.
Size & brightness: Hubble’s early upper-limit size ~3.5 miles (≤5.6 km); what that means for visibility.
Chemistry shocker: CO₂-rich coma and what that implies about its birthplace and processing.
Conspiracy corner: alien probe? cover-ups? We rate the claims and show the receipts. (Short answer: natural comet, odd recipe.)

Quick FAQ
• Is it dangerous? No. Closest to Earth ≈ 1.8 AU; perihelion ≈ 1.4 AU. Way outside any risk zone.
• Will I see it with my eyes? Probably not spectacular; great for pro scopes and mission data releases.
• Who’s observing it? JWST, Hubble, and SPHEREx among others.
• When was it found? July 1, 2025 by the ATLAS survey (Chile).
