The Comet 3i/ATLAS that Broke the Rules of the Universe - Nickel without Iron

Every comet we’ve ever studied followed one rule: if you see nickel, you see iron.
They’re cosmic twins — forged in supernovae, always found together, from meteorites in Antarctica to Earth’s metallic core.

But Comet 3I/ATLAS just broke that rule.
For the first time, astronomers have detected nickel gas venting without iron. Something that shouldn’t even be possible.

In this video, I’ll take you through:

Why iron and nickel are always born together in stars

How we separate them on Earth using chemistry — and why that has no natural parallel in space

The shocking 2021 discovery of metals in comets at –100°C

Why 3I/ATLAS is the first comet ever to show nickel without iron

What this anomaly could mean: rare chemistry… or something more?

👉 Do you think nickel-only gas is just strange comet chemistry — or a sign of something more? Comment below with your thoughts.
