In a binary system V404 Cygni after 26 years of “silence” awoke the black hole monster. This is stated in the press service of the European Space Agency (ESA).
Get detailed information on the outbreak of the black hole, located in our Milky Way 8 thousand light-years from Earth, the scientists succeeded in using ESA satellite Integral.
The last time a black hole in the system V404 Cygni flared in 1989, and it was one of the turning points in the study of black holes. The object is then returned to the peaceful state, and astrophysicists could see his companion star is gradually absorbed by the black hole. Scientists note that the black hole now behaves unpredictably, changing its luster for several values in the range of hours or even minutes.
