![This image shows an X-ray view of interstellar comet 3I ATLAS, captured by ESA’s XMM-Newton spacecraft. At the centre of the image, a bright red spot stands out against a dark background, like a fiery beacon. Starting from this core, faint gradients of purple and blue spread outward, creating a slightly rotated rectangular frame, divided by a thin horizontal line. The red colour shows low-energy X-rays, blue marks empty space with very few X-rays. A yellow arrow labelled “Sun” points left, indicating the comet’s orientation in the Solar System. At the bottom right, a scale marker reads “5 arcmin”, providing a sense of spatial dimension.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p5h5ai6lj6bc53b7mmvy3rf2/bafkreicot2eitpk5sa6jclrhzqsrrpa5dxwb7dwomik2zs66b3ye37jst4)
