An X-ray 'bubble' has been found around black hole SS 433 — a supernova remnant proving that such objects are born in massive star explosions. This is key to understanding how stellar-mass black holes form.

🎯 The light from the explosion traveled 18,000 years to reach us: it could have been seen by Stone Age people when mammoths still roamed the Earth.
