Simultaneously daunting and awe-inspiring, we tackle challenging concepts of cosmic distance, scale and gravity. We'll explore the potential capabilities of these icy visitors, which upon entering the inner solar system may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of our planet's evolution - even possibly the origins of life itself. As we trace the pathways of these celestial wanderers, we collectively rekindle our innate curiosity about the universe, the story of our existence, and our role in the cosmic odyssey.
