Episode 3: What If 3I/ATLAS Crashed into Earth?

This simulation explores the catastrophic impact on Earth if the interstellar asteroid Oumuamua were to collide with us. This unique asteroid, shaped like a cigar, is the first interstellar object ever recorded, meaning it hails from beyond our Solar System. A collision with Oumuamua would create a city-sized crater, obliterating everything nearby. Yet, of all interstellar rocks, Oumuamua isn't the most dangerous.
