Japan’s XRISM telescope has just made history. For the first time ever, scientists have detected X-rays coming from an interstellar comet — 3I/ATLAS. Between November 26–28, XRISM recorded a massive 250,000-mile X-ray glow surrounding the comet, revealing brand-new details about how this object interacts with the solar wind. This discovery opens an entirely new window into studying visitors from outside our solar system. In this video, we break down: ✔ How XRISM captured the first X-ray detection from an interstellar object ✔ What charge-exchange emission is, and why it matters ✔ Why previous attempts with Oumuamua and Borisov failed ✔ What the X-ray spectrum tells us about the comet’s chemistry ✔ How 3I/ATLAS compares to other comets in our solar system ✔ What NASA, JAXA, Hubble, and JWST plan to observe next ✔ Why December 19 is such an important date for astronomers This is one of the most significant discoveries in the study of interstellar objects — and the story is only beginning.
