Hercules X-1, also known as 1Herculis or A0538-66, is a binary star system located in the constellation of Hercules, approximately 6,000 light-years away from Earth. It is particularly notable for being an X-ray binary with a neutron star as one of its components. The system consists of a neutron star, which is a remnant of a supernova explosion, and a companion star that is typically a supergiant.
