Celestial Object Cx330. Key Ring

This artists concept shows an unusual celestial object called CX330. CX330 was first detected as a source of X-ray light in 2009 by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory while it was surveying the bulge in the central region of the Milky Way. CX330 is not near any star-forming region. As of the most recent observation, which was August 2015, this object was outbursting, meaning it was launching jets of material that slam into the gas and dust around it.
