Cygnus X1 Constellation Guide
In others, like the famous system called Cygnus X-1, the star produces a hefty outflow that is partly swept up by the black hole's gravity to form the disk. The accretion disks use a different color scheme because they sport even higher temperatures than the stars. The largest disk shown, belonging to a binary called GRS 1915, spans a.

Cygnus X-1. Several thousand light-years away, near the "heart" of Cygnus, the swan, two stars are locked in a gravitational embrace. One star is a blue supergiant, known as HDE 226868. It is more than 40 times as massive as the Sun and 300,000 times brighter. The other star is more than 20 times the mass of the Sun, but it's extremely small.
Cygnus X1 was the First Black Hole Ever Found. New Measurements Show
Cygnus X-1 is located near large active regions of star formation in the Milky Way, as seen in this image that spans some 700 light-years. Image via NASA / Digitized Sky Survey.

Cygnus X-1's singularity — the collapsed star at its center — achieved black hole density when it became 3.7 miles (6.0km) wide. Yet the star shriveled still further, to the size of a beach.
Cygnus X1 in 60 Seconds YouTube
Cygnus X-1 is the heaviest stellar black hole observed without using gravitational waves The famed Cygnus X-1 black hole (illustrated, slurping mass off its companion star) is nearly 1.5.
APOD 2017 February 16 The Tulip and Cygnus X1
With a mass originally estimated at 15 times that of the sun, Cygnus X-1 is one of the most massive and most luminous of the X-ray binary systems known in the Milky Way. New measurements have.
Cygnus X1’s StellarMass Black Hole is More Massive than Astronomers
Now, some 57 years later, scientists have learned that the black hole at Cygnus X-1 is much more massive than first believed—forcing us to once again rethink how black holes form and evolve.
Cygnus X1 YouTube
Cygnus X-1 (abbreviated Cyg X-1) [11] is a galactic X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus and was the first such source widely accepted to be a black hole.
Wide Field Image of Cygnus X1 Earth Blog
Cygnus X-1 is a galactic X-ray source located in the northern constellation Cygnus. The X-ray source is believed to be a stellar mass black hole, one created from the collapse of a massive star about 5 to 6 million years ago.
First Black Hole Ever Detected Cygnus X1 Is Much More Massive Than
IXPE observed Cygnus X-1, which is an X-ray binary system consisting of a 21-solar-mass black hole and a 41-solar-mass companion star 7,200 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus the Swan.
Cygnus X1 YouTube
Cygnus X-1's tremendous gravity squeezes mass about 10 times that of our sun into sphere about 40 miles across, the size of the Los Angeles Basin. The intense gravity of the black hole draws off matter from supergiant companion star, with mass about 30 times that of the sun. As the matter spins around the black hole, it forms hot disk.

Also in the field of view is microquasar Cygnus X-1 , one of the strongest X-ray sources in planet Earth's sky. Driven by powerful jets from a black hole accretion disk, its fainter bluish curved shock front is only just visible though, directly above the cosmic Tulip's petals near the top of the frame.

Chandra Photo Album Cygnus X1 November 17, 2011
An animation showing the Cygnus X-1 system, consisting of a black hole in orbit with a giant star. Recent observations by radio telescopes have found the system is 20 percent further away than previously thought, implying the black hole is 21 times the mass of the Sun, making it the most massive stellar-mass black hole ever detected without the use of gravitational waves.
