With increased media coverage and public interest in NEOs (Near-Earth Objects), cometary activity, and potential interstellar visitors, we examine what this “flock of comets” might mean — and whether it's just a cosmic coincidence or something more. 🔭 Topics covered: What explains the Nickel Detected in 3I/ATLAS' coma? Why are we seeing more new comets in 2025? The overwhelming amount of Near Earth Objects  What options do we have to track 3I/ATLAS and what can we do in the future? What is R2/Swan? And when to look for it. 📈 Trending Keywords: #3IATLAS #InterstellarObject #Comet2025 #NEOs #NewComets #SpaceNews #Astronomy #Astrophysics #SolarSystem #InterstellarVisitor #swan    Resources: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.18382 https://www.sott.net/image/s36/732425/full/comettails2.jpg https://www.sott.net/image/s36/732424/full/hubbleimage_strip.jpg https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.02934 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.15768 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y__vwRQ3PVg https://www.space.com/stargazing/could-new-comet-c-2025-r2-swan-become-visible-to-the-naked-eye-in-october-heres-what-we-know https://www.space.com/astronomy/comets/comet-c-2025-a6-lemmon-is-approaching-earth-will-it-become-visible-to-the-naked-eye https://www.space.com/the-universe/comets/why-comet-g3-atlas-will-be-remembered-as-the-great-comet-of-2025-photos https://sites.psu.edu/astrowright/2025/08/21/no-reason-to-think-that-3i-atlas-is-large-or-self-luminous/ https://theskylive.com/3dsolarsystem?objs=c2025a6|c2025r2|c2025k1|c2025n1|c2024g3&date=2025-08-19&h=05&m=09&  https://theskylive.com/3dsolarsystem?objs=c2025r2|c2025a6|c2025n1|c2025k1&date=2024-11-25&h=12&m=42& https://theskylive.com/3dsolarsystem?objs=2025rt3|2025sc|2025fa22|2025rc2|2025sz1|2025sx2|2025rl2|2025sy1|2025rw3|2025sq4|2025st1|2025sn4|2025sd5|2025sc5|2025sv5|2025st4|2025sp3|2025sr7|2025sz4|2025sv4|2025su7|2025sm6|2025su4|2025rx4|2025sb4|2025sw|2025sd4|2025ss7|2025sw6|2025ss5|2025sh|2025sv6|2015xx168|2025bl|2022oc3|2023cm2|2025dq|2007eg|2015vo142|2010ra91|2023dz2|2024tb7|2013gm3|2003ln6|2025al2|2015ts238|2022up6|2019xf2|2010vq|2015dg200|2016vo1|2022ef1|2024jh1|137108|2024rh16|2019dp|2025el12|2025sc3|2006sb|2018fk5|2020sn6|2024tw17|2019wv|2020xf|2025hd2|2024ym|2020aw|2021cd|2020dk|2022su7|2025ha19|2021vw10|2021eo2|2009wr52|153814|2011lj19|2022qb6|2025qv9|2024qp2|2025hf1|35396|2015vl64|2023gq2|2017vn2|2023xr14|2012xe133|2016ep84|2019bx1|2019be5|292220|2022bp4|2024cu|2025dt2|2021fh1|2017gk6|apophis|2007wa|2000sl10|2022ly1|2006he2|2021uo1|2001av43|2016vy1|2020yb1|2021bb|2019be5|2022ea6|2016jd18|2019cl2|2023td167|2021ux1|2014yn|2015xh55|2021dg|2021rs5|2025sc|2020kq4|2023mh4|2011ah5|2004df2|2022qx4|2024sn3|2016ja6|2023xm2|2024wt|2022wb5|2021xe|2020dk|2021dr|2018du|2019eh1|2022ga2|2008db|2018vb7|2013cy|2019wg2|2021xf5|2024yr4|2024yr6|2019cn2|2022co6|2019fa|2020gy1|2025je|2020uc4|2022qt7|2021pc7|2020vv|2024uv7|2023vb2|2019ah3|2022hh1|2021ro16|2021tg4|2014hb177|2021jz5|2014xc8|2022mk1|2003ru11|2005ta|2017tb|2010vq|2020ue|2023qp8|2016dy21|2008gm2|2020gb1|2020tj3|2022sw|2022sx55&date=2024-01-17&h=01&m=14& https://ground.news/article/mystery-deepens-around-third-interstellar-visitor-3i-atlas https://ground.news/article/update-hubble-space-telescope-observations-of-the-interstellar-interloper-3i-atlas-astrobiology  https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/comet-3i-atlas-observed-by-spacecraft  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C/2025_R2_(SWAN)
