Original dual system of black holes and the stars woke up in the constellation of Cygnus. How is it to be considered an astrophysicist with the ESA Integral satellite, the monster began to move after 26 years of silence.

As informs an official site of the European space Agency (ESA), the black hole is a monster dwells in 8 thousand light-years from Earth, the universal scale is not very far. System V404 in the constellation of Cygnus is located in our galaxy and consists of a black hole and stars that revolve around each other. Uniformly black hole absorbs a star.

Researchers report that a black hole is a monster now behaves very unexpectedly. She is able to change its own Shine. Flashes of light change the brightness of the object to multiple variables for hours or even several minutes, which is very unusual for other systems with a black hole and surprising to researchers.

1 employee of the Integral project, the first noticed a revival of the system V404, astrophysicist Eric Bulkers told that the behavior of the systems today are very unusual. "In a flash moment it becomes the brightest object in the x-ray sky - almost 50 times brighter than the crab nebula, which is considered one of the brightest sources of energy in space", - said the scientist.

The last time the black hole from the system V404 broke out in 1989 and it was one of the pivotal moments in the study of black holes. Then watching her with the Japanese x-ray satellite Ginga Observatory and high energy at the station "Mir". After that, the object returned to a state of calm and astrophysicists have been able to review his star companion, slowly eaten by the black hole.
