The mass of the black hole candidate Cygnus X-1 has been estimated using observations of its companion star and the dynamics of their interaction. By analyzing the orbital motion of the companion star, astronomers can apply Kepler's laws to calculate the mass of the unseen black hole, which is inferred from the gravitational influence it exerts on the star. These measurements suggest that Cygnus X-1 has a mass of about 8 to 14 times that of the Sun, making it one of the first black hole candidates identified. Additionally, X-ray emissions from the system provide further insights into the black hole's characteristics and behavior.

What are some examples of stars that have already turned into black holes?
Cygnus X-1; Sagittarius A* Actually, any observed black hole can be assumed to have been a star at some moment; although in the case of the supermassive black holes, it is not quite clear how they formed.
Why have black dwarfs not been seen?
It is estimated that it would take trillions of years for a white dwarf to cool to a black dwarf, which is more than the current age of universe. So black dwarfs do not exist yet.
Who was the first person to see a black hole?
No black hole has ever been seen by anyone. The nature of a black hole actually prevents it from being seen. A black hole is the ultimate gravity well, and nothing that crosses the event horizon can escape. Not even light can get out. The only way a black hole can be "seen" is indirectly as it creates what is called gravity lensing. Light from objects "behnid" the black hole is "bent" around it, and it is this phenomenon that allows a black hole to be "seen" by observers.

What makes Cygnus X-1 a good black-hole candidate?
Cygnus x-1, which is found within the Swan Cygnus constellation, is a binary star system and one of the brightest sources of x-rays in the sky. Data collected from this system indicates that there is a compact "object" that is 9 solar masses. As well, its brightness has been observed to be continually changing, which is a characteristic of a blackhole, and simply cannot be otherwise explained.
