Extraordinary 'Trinary' Black Hole System Is The First of Its Kind Ever Found

In the constellation of Cygnus, some 7,800 light-years from Earth, lurks a real space oddity.

In the constellation of Cygnus, some 7,800 light-years from Earth, lurks a real space oddity. There, a black hole in a system named V404 Cygni repeatedly engages in behavior that has simultaneously baffled and delighted scientists. Now it's whipped a brand new trick out of its seemingly endless arsenal: an unseen binary companion, a star on a wide orbit of around 70,000 years.

Xylania’s Garden - Animated painting

Galactic Gazetteer: Noss

Type: desert planet

Suns: three

Location: Galaxy 4

Status: destroyed

Visited by: the First Doctor, Vicki and Steven

Appearance: Galaxy 4 (1965)

Fun fact: a Drahvin ship attacked a Rill vessel and both crashed on the planet, which was unstable and going to explode in two days.

Another fun fact: this planet doesn't actually have a name, but Gary Russell called it Noss when he was working on the animated version and that's good enough for me.

Alpha Centauri

Our neighboring solar system, over 4 light-years away. It is a Trinary Star System consisting of Proxima Centauri(M-type red dwarf star) and the Binary Star System Alpha Centauri AB.

The brightest star to the left is Alpha Centauri AB. The star in the red square denoted to the lower right of Alpha Centauri AB is Proxima Centauri. The Bright Star to the Right is Beta Centauri- another Trinary Star System light years away.
