Cygnus X-3 is a high-mass X-ray binary star system located in the constellation Cygnus, approximately 7,000 light-years away from Earth. It consists of a compact object, believed to be a black hole or a neutron star, and a massive companion star, which is a Wolf-Rayet star. The system is notable for its strong X-ray emissions, which are produced when the compact object accretes matter from its companion star.
