Cygnus X-1, the Milky Way's most famous black hole, may have formed without a supernova explosion. Researchers suggest a massive star collapsed directly into a black hole. This challenges the common assumption that black holes are always heralded by spectacular explosions. The dynamic evidence is summarized in this image of the region.
