Interstellar visitor #3 is here. We unpack 3I ATLAS (why it’s
moving so fast, why we finally saw a tail, and how Hubble/JWST—and
maybe even Juno—could nail down its makeup). Then we dive into the
Vera Rubin Observatory, the 32-gigapixel camera that will turn the
entire sky into a time-lapse movie and supercharge discovery. Next:
AI just boosted CRISPR by predicting and guiding DNA repair
(Pythia), making edits cleaner—especially in non-dividing neurons.
And we close with a crossover of dinos + particle physics:
preserved T. rex blood vessels revealed by a synchrotron. Mystery
Box: the viral “Black aliens” meme.
