Unexpected X-rays from Comet Hyakutake
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
In a surprising discovery, the ROSAT satellite detected X-rays from Comet Hyakutake on March 27, 1996. This was the first time X-rays had been observed from a comet. Repeated observations showed the X-ray brightness changed over just a few hours. The crescent shape of the X-ray emission also puzzled astronomers.
