This particular episode highlights our recent re-watching of "The X-Files," a show we enjoy for its lack of modern technology and nostalgic appeal. Our conversation naturally progresses to a Guardian article about "3i/Atlas," a recently discovered celestial object believed to be an asteroid or comet, approximately 20 kilometres wide and 150 million miles away.
We humorously speculate about its potential impact and discuss various methods of measuring vast astronomical distances, plus contemplate concepts like "extinction-level events" and an "existential threat" posed by large space objects.
