What you're looking at isn't exactly a black hole. Actually, it's the light, matter, and radiation spewed forth — and subsequently suspended in space — from a recently exploded star.

 

NASA scientists, using the Chandra X-ray space telescope, managed to zoom in on this colorful explosion of W49B — an oddly mesmerizing piece of universe that, at just 1,000 years old (at least seen from Earth), is theorized to be the youngest black hole ever spotted in our Milky Way galaxy.
