Cygnus X-1 Presents: It’s Dinner Time and You’re The Meal! Lurking in our galaxy, approximately 6,000 light-years from Earth, is a monster named CygnusX-1. This black hole, which has about 14.8 times the mass of our Sun, will stretch and squeeze anything it captures in its immense gravity. Cygnus X-1 is waiting, snacking on its neighboring star. Don’t get too close, or you’ll become its next meal! Observed by NASA’s NuSTAR and Chandra X-Ray Telescopes
