What it is. This is a very special edition of Planet Tyrus. And yes, I did look off to the side to see what the name said because I just got out of the gym and I'm still kind of getting it together. But speaking of getting it together, this is a very special Planet Tyrus podcast because this is our first return guest and I could not be more excited because the great Avi Loeb is a theatrical astrophysicist. My old job at Harvard University, he is the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science in Harvard's Department of Astronomy and serves as director of the Institute of Theory and Compilations at Harvard Smith and Sonian Center. Woo, that's a mouthful. Last time he was on, we were talking about this comment that is making its way with some really strange movements. Typically I'm saying a comment, but it could be something else. There's been, we'll say, theories that it is possibly a ufo. We've heard theories it could be something new and it could just be an anomaly. So he's back with us today to discuss his most recent findings as of March. And I'm extremely excited to find out what the hot take is on.

I'm doing great. I was yesterday in Las Vegas having a podcast interview of four hours with AJ Gentile. And then I arrived back to Boston at midnight. And this morning, well, I first had another interview, this time from the other side of the globe, but about three eye atlas, the interest stellar object that we will discuss. But more Interestingly, there were two papers that appeared overnight about 3i ATL that indicate that it has another anomaly associated with it, and that has to do with isotopes. Okay, so let me explain what an isotope is.
