Episode notes
Detection Rate Will Skyrocket
- Rubin Observatory will increase interstellar object detections by ~100x, revealing new arrivals every few months.
- We should inspect each visitor to distinguish natural objects from possible technological artifacts.
3I/ATLAS's Odd Size And Trajectory
- 3I/ATLAS shows unusual brightness implying a 20 km size if light is reflected from a surface.
- Its orbital alignment and timing make a random origin statistically unlikely and potentially deliberate.
Immediate Reaction To 3I/ATLAS Discovery
- Loeb discovered 3I/ATLAS late at night after a listener emailed him and he checked the data immediately.
- He compared its size to Manhattan and to the dinosaur-killer rock to stress its rarity.
