Mr. Robin's Hood Podcast, Episode 75 - 3I/ATLAS is Coming & Mikey's Selling Merch

Hosts Mr. Robin (Robin Hohweiler) and Mikey-on-the-Mic (Mikel Maureé Robinson) break down 3I/Atlas — the third known interstellar object — discovered by ATLAS in April 2024. They cover its hyperbolic trajectory, estimated size (120–180 meters), and blistering speed (~26 miles/second), plus the likely origin from constellation Hercules. Although Atlas will make a close pass during November–December and may fragment as it warms, it is not on a collision course with earth. Though that prediction of its course seems to change on a daily basis. Astronomers and telescopes like JWST, Pan-STARRS, and the Vera Rubin Observatory will study it as a rare scientific opportunity to learn about material from another star system, while the hosts add humor and merch-ready commentary.
