Sometimes massive stars can mimic the behavior of a black hole and trick astronomers into misinterpreting their nature. Such is the case with a strange pair of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) cluster NGC 1850. The system was initially thought to contain a star about five times the mass of the sun orbiting a stellar-mass black hole. Now, a new study led by Rhys Seeburger of Liverpool John Moores University demonstrates that this is a black hole "impostor" system. The research paper was posted to the arXiv preprint server on Oct. 27.

Black holes launch them from their poles and they can extend enormous distances into space, disrupting star formation in adjacent regions.
