🔬 Interstellar Visitors, Laser-Powered Probes & Forest Flood Impacts

Today's episode explores an ancient interstellar comet entering our solar system and a proposed paperclip-sized spacecraft that could reach a black hole in under a century. We discover a hidden gas cloud in our galaxy and examine how clear-cutting forests dramatically increases flood risks for decades. Plus, breakthrough biodegradable plastic tested in the deep sea, Alaska's new earthquake warning system, and how artificial light disrupts multiple body systems. We also cover natural cavity-fighting compounds, statin research findings, Curiosity rover upgrades, and a mysteriously vanishing planet candidate near Alpha Centauri.
