Cygnus x 1

Cygnus X-1 shown as a massive X-ray binary system with a luminous blue-white supergiant star beside a compact dark black hole candidate. A thin, focused stream of gas flows from the supergiant toward the compact object, feeding a bright hot blue-white accretion disk around the black hole. The compact object appears as a dark central circle or silhouette within the glowing accretion structure, presented in a clear textbook-style astronomical diagram or icon-like illustration. Use simple vector-style shapes, crisp medium-weight outlines, smooth blue-white glow accents, and minimal shading.
