X-Rays from Comet LINEAR
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Comets emit X-rays, a mystery first observed with Comet Hyakutake in 1996. The Chandra X-ray Observatory imaged Comet LINEAR, revealing the cause. Fast ions from the Sun's solar wind collide with gases streaming off the comet, generating the X-rays.
