Tulip Nebula

Tulip Nebula Sh2-101 5871 L.Y. in the constellation Cygnus. A very active Hydrogen Alpha region of the Milky Way.
If you look to the nebula's right, you'll see a faint arc curving away from the Tulip nebula directly in line with my watermark. That, I am told, is the shock wave from Cygnus X-1, the first supermassive black hole ever discovered.

Great image. Did the shock wave originate in the nebula. I thought supermassive black holes were in the centers of galaxies,

I don't think astrophysicists know just where black holes form. Cygnus X1 is part of a binary star system where one component collapsed into a black hole.

I didn't think a single star could have the mass sufficient to form a SMBH but I googled SMBH and apparently there can be stars massive enough to do this or at least large enough to accrete much more mass. Apparently with SMBHs all things are possible.
