apod.nasa.gov — Is that a black hole? Quite possibly. The Cygnus X-1 binary star system contains one of the best candidates for a black hole. The system was discovered because it is one of the brightest X-ray sources on the sky, shining so bright it was detected by the earliest rockets carrying cameras capable of seeing the previously unknown X-ray sky.

-1 for what? This goddamn picture is f**king bad ass. "My God..." are Dave's lasts words before getting sucked into whatever it was floating around Jupiter in 2010. That post was chocked full of goodness...The image is a portion Pickering's Triangle in the veil nebula, a.k.a. the Cygnus Remnant. The link to the uncompressed 4000 pixel width tiff file is nothing short of brilliant. That one person can kiss my ass.
