Stunning 'Bull's-eye' blast from a black hole captured

Rings around erupting black hole are 'echo' of X-ray light reflected off dust
Spectacular displa coming from system V404 Cygni 8,000 light years away
Outburst was detected by Nasa's Swift space telescope in low-Earth orbit
The huge burst occupies a space half of the diameter of the Moon in the night sky

Rings of X-ray light can be seen blasting out from the centre of an erupting black hole in stunning images captured by Nasa's Swift space telescope.
The 'bull's-eye' structure of the erupting black hole is the result of an 'echo' of the X-ray light reflected off dust clouds.
The light show is coming from star system V404 Cygni, where a black hole and sun-like star orbit each other 8,000 light years from Earth.

Shocked, I tell you!

I regularly refer to him as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koch Industries.

it'll soon die without sustenance.

I love these visual reminders that we are but a speck in a breathtaking universe.

Especially since we were told just last week that black holes really didn't exist.... or something
