      “Observations have already indicated that 3I/ATLAS is bursting to life with cometary activity. These observations also seem to indicate that 3I/ATLAS is bigger than previous interstellar invaders 1I/’Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov.”

      Fascinating we’ve seen three of these in (relatively) quick succession, now we have the tech for it. It indicates that inter-solar system activity isn’t a rare thing, and this has likely been going on a long time and we’ve just not had the ability to notice.
