Il appartient à NGC 300, une galaxie spirale située à 7 millions d'années-lumières. La vidéo se rapproche du système en question et zoome sur le trou noir. Elle se termine par une vue d'artiste du système (le trou noir aspire la matière d'une étoile à proximité).

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected a stellar-mass black hole much further away than any other previously known. With a mass twenty times that of the Sun, this is also the second most massive stellar mass black hole ever found. The newly announced black hole lies in a spiral galaxy called NGC 300, six million light-years from Earth. This video zooms in onto the position of the system containing the stellar-mass black hole, and finishes with an artist’s impression of the system.
