This week on Break It Down: We’ve just seen our third-ever interstellar object whizzing though the Solar System, eating cheese really might give you nightmares (but so might dessert), cavers are rewarded with a treasure trove of blind, mummified invertebrates including the only known cave-adapted wasp, the Neanderthal fat factory is just as delicious as it sounds, orcas caught kissing out in the wild, and if the Moon gets slapped by an asteroid as NASA predicts there’s a 4.1 percent chance it might, it would be a 1-in-5,000-years spectacle for Earth to enjoy (from a safe distance). Available on all your favorite podcast apps: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, Amazon Music, and more.

Break It Down is the audio edition of our This Week In Science newsletter – create an account to get all the biggest science news, and new podcast episodes, delivered straight to your inbox weekly.

So, sit back, relax, and let’s Break It Down
