Cygnus-X1- 8100 lightyears away from Earth. Going as fast as possible, i traveled to Cygnus-X1. In this Binary System, a stellar mass black hole pulls gas of a star that rotates, the gas forms an accretion disk. The black hole bends the light of nearby stars.
Andromeda- 2.5 million lightyears away from Earth. A supermassive black hole 30 million times heavier than our Sun. Astronomers have calculated the mass by figuring out how fast the stars orbit it.

First Post
I would like to learn more about space, the other planets, and stars. I would also like to learn about how to save energy. It would be cool to learn how to save money for the school, at home, or for other organizations. It would also be cool to learn about recycling and what the best things are to use with recycling. Something that I would like to know more about is the rotation of the earth and how it relates to the rest of the solar system.
