When a recent post on X posted images that showed that 3I/ATLAS might be more than a comet, claiming it glows in X-rays 'the same way a spaceship engine does,' the internet lit up with theories because the claims made do have some credence, but do they pass the test of science?
Now, according to the post, a new X-ray image released sometime between 6-8 December 2025 by XRISM shows 3I/ATLAS with a 'glow ... too much green-blue carbon and nitrogen, almost no oxygen,' shining sunward rather than trailing away, and steady 'like a light left on, not flickering like a campfire.'
