- CaptainChad, on 08/11/2008, -2/+18Wish it was an actual picture, though. The text says it's an "artistic impression."
- SomeHobo, on 08/11/2008, -2/+8My new desktop image!
- Jynx97, on 08/11/2008, -2/+6Invisible to telescopic eye.
Infinity the star that would not die. - SonicEarth, on 08/11/2008, -2/+6Like the Rush song?
- hiney, on 08/11/2008, -1/+5Attention all planets of the solar federation. We have assumed control.
- SonicEarth, on 08/11/2008, -2/+6I think you mean:
Invisible to telescopic eye
Infinity the star that would not die - Ursapater, on 08/11/2008, -0/+4In the constellation of Cygnus there lurks a mysterious invisible force
The black hole of Cygnus X-1
Six stars of the Northern Cross
In mourning for their sister's loss
In a final flash of glory,
nevermore to grace the night
From Cygnus X-1 off of the 'Farewell to Kings' album by Rush Continued on the album 'Hemispheres' - Ursapater, on 08/11/2008, -0/+3Through the void to be destroyed
...or is there something more?
Atomized at the core,
or through the astral door
To soar... - ripple123, on 08/11/2008, -3/+6oh ***** wow! a decidedly average computer rendering of a astronomical phenomenon! thats never been done before! and its just so much more spectacular than actual ***** images from, oh, say, the hubble telescope!
- IamKrAzE, on 08/11/2008, -2/+5good stuff
- sisko2k5, on 08/11/2008, -3/+6Artists rendering....bummer
- drgkstep, on 08/11/2008, -2/+4Dugg for being the first APOD in a week that doesn't have to do with the damn eclipse.
- ouzome, on 08/11/2008, -2/+4That's 2112, but you beat me to a Rush reference.
- silfiriel, on 08/11/2008, -1/+3there's only one APOD (figure out the abbreviation)
- SteelChicken, on 08/11/2008, -2/+4I was thinking the same thing
- jamangold, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2(Skip forward one side of the next album)...
We will call you Cygnus, the god of balance you shall be... - Matteos, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2I set a course just east of lyra
And northwest of pegasus
Flew into the light of deneb
Sailed across the milky way
On my ship, the Rocinante
Wheeling through the galaxies,
Headed for the heart of cygnus
Headlong into mystery
The x-ray is her siren song
My ship cannot resist her long
Nearer to my deadly goal
Until the black hole ----
Gains control.... - inactive, on 08/11/2008, -2/+3All who dare
To cross her course
Are swallowed by
A fearsome force - vMsam, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1pictures like these really wish extraterrestrial life would just hurry up and come down here
- SHUUTOBI, on 08/11/2008, -1/+2Makes me wonder if this is how you become a tier 2 civilization...
e.g. An extraterrestrial civilization found a way to suck in all the energy of a star... and we just happen to call these matter suckers black holes. :P - silfiriel, on 08/11/2008, -1/+2nice spam
- kineticworm, on 08/11/2008, -2/+3berried...how clever of you.
- hiney, on 08/11/2008, -1/+2Yeah, I couldn't think of any of the words from Cygnus X-1. So I jumped back a couple albums.
- iamnotbill, on 08/12/2008, -0/+1really cool, but i was expecting more than a rendering.
- cheap2, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1You always find great pics on NASA's site
- edwartica, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1I for one welcome our new extra-terrestrial overlords.
- bubba9999, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1One of the hyperlinks in the description links to a page with the lyrics to the song. Awesome APOD dudes!
- stockjones, on 08/12/2008, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3FzGAy1gck&feature ...

To be destroyed
Or is there something more? - jgoldner, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1thats one of their best ever. nice composition too.
- sexyf, on 08/12/2008, -0/+1dugg..

http://godzillafiguresblog.com - elaineb281, on 12/03/2008, -0/+0Makes you realize how small we are in the grand scheme of the universe!
http://halfwaterhalfgasreviews.com - LaliaTK, on 08/13/2008, -0/+0Ditto!
- CATSCEO2, on 08/11/2008, -1/+1Don't forget to hit report too.
- pandaemonaeaon, on 08/12/2008, -1/+0Nice....i wish someday a black hole gets near earth's atmosphere...T_T...oh wait...we already got the LHC and someday it will fail and we all will die, =D
- Akraz, on 08/11/2008, -6/+3After clicking the picture, at first i thought it was one of those MOTIVATIONAL posters they show on 4chan all the time
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0808/cygnusx1_stsc ... - silfiriel, on 08/11/2008, -7/+1there's a Rush song "Black Hole Candidate Cygnus X 1 " ? No, there's a song "Black Hole Candidate Cygnus X 1 "?????
- diggberry, on 08/11/2008, -11/+1How many of the same APOD's do we need to see in one day? Berried as dupe!
