Title: The HDA 226868 + Cyg X-1 binary system and its visible effects

Description: Here I reproduced the "scene" about the dance between the Black Hole and X-Ray source Cyg X-1 and its optical counterpart HDE 226868 Giant Blue Star. The Black Hole subtracts matter from the giant Blue star and its accretion disc grows in consequence; the disc is also spinning as fast as it heats up as much as its temperature allows it to emit in the X-Ray bandwidth. Perpendicularly to the accretion disc the Black Hole spreads out two relativistic jets; here I pictured the path and the effects of the northern relativistic jet. It powerfully shocks the interstellar matter that ionizes and glows in consequence revealing the shape of a faint blue beautiful arch.
