Sometimes astronomical mysteries take decades to solve. That has been the case for SS433, an unusually bright object within our own Milky Way that been the subject of study since its discovery in 1975. SS433 has been studied across the spectrum from long-wavelength radio waves to high-frequency gamma rays. It is now known to be a binary star made up of a hot, old A-class supergiant about 11 times the mass of our Sun paired with a stellar-mass black hole (the remnant of an exploded star).
