NASA | X-ray Satellites Monitor the Clashing Winds of a Colossal Binary

The video explores the Cygnus OB stellar grouping, focusing on Cygnus OB 2 #9, a binary system of massive stars. Initially hidden by dust clouds, its binary nature was discovered through radio emissions. The video explains how stellar winds from these stars collide to produce X-rays, a phenomenon observed using SWIFT, XML, and ground-based observatories. These observations help understand the role of such systems in shaping the galaxy and influencing star formation.
