Something Massive Just Hit 3I/ATLAS | Science for Sleep

What happens when a lonely wanderer from the stars is struck by the fury of our own sun? In this episode of Sleepy Science, we follow 3I/ATLAS as it drifts into the path of a solar flare—an invisible wave of fire meeting an interstellar traveler.

From myths of the sun as a raging god, to the modern science of plasma storms that ripple across space, we’ll explore the fragile line between awe and destruction. Why do these eruptions in the sky feel like omens? And what does it mean when a visitor from beyond collides with the restless breath of our star?

This is sleepy science for curious dreamers: a gentle journey through solar tempests, cosmic chance encounters, and the way our fears and fascinations are written in light.

Perfect for anyone who wants to rest with mysteries, relax to cosmic storytelling, or drift into sleep while imagining how the universe collides in silence.
