DescriptionXTE J1118+480.jpg	English: Data from the Digitized Sky Survey has played an important supporting role in the discovery of an ancient black hole speeding through the Sun's galactic neighborhood, devouring a small companion star as the pair travels in an eccentric orbit looping to the outer reaches of our Milky Way galaxy. This artist's impression illustrates the dramatic journey.
