Artwork: binary star system containing black hole
Artists impression of a binary star system consisting of a black hole (upper right) and a red giant star (upper left). At lower right is a nebula, a cloud of gas and dust where new stars are forming. A stream of gas is being pulled from the atmosphere of the red giant by the immense gravitational field of its companion. As the gas spirals down into the black hole it forms a flat accretion disc which heats up and emits X-rays (bright white spot at centre). For this reason, this type of system is known as an X-ray binary

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases a mesmerizing binary star system, featuring a black hole and a red giant star. The upper right corner reveals the enigmatic presence of the black hole, while the upper left displays the majestic red giant star. In the lower right portion of the image, we are treated to an ethereal nebula—a celestial cloud composed of gas and dust where new stars are being born. The awe-inspiring gravitational force exerted by the black hole is depicted as it pulls a stream of gas from the atmosphere of its companion—the red giant. This process gives rise to a remarkable sight: a flat accretion disc formed by this spiraling gas, emitting scorching X-rays that manifest as a brilliant white spot at its center. These extraordinary characteristics have led scientists to classify this particular system as an X-ray binary. It serves as a testament to nature's ability to create peculiar cosmic phenomena that continue to captivate astronomers and cosmologists alike. Through this stunning piece of artistry created by Science Photo Library, we are invited into an imaginative realm where stellar life cycles intertwine with celestial wonders—offering us glimpses into both birth and death in our vast universe.
