Reply to comment by KenHutchenson in Bizarre star may have a solid surface, according to X-ray observations. Astronomers have now spotted a super strange one that seems to have a solid surface. Its intense magnetic field is strong enough to overcome its blistering temperatures and “freeze” its outer layers into a solid crust. by MistWeaver80

X-Rays are photons. Just with higher energy and outside the visible spectrum.

But yes you would need a special telescope to see something that only radiates in the x-ray spectrum.
