 | | This is the second time that Old Faithful, the first known micro-quasar in our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been observed to be acting strangely. |
 | | By comparison, Old Faithful, a micro-quasar called GRS 1915+105 in the constellation Aquila (the eagle), has in the past produced flares, or eruptions, as few as 20 seconds apart. |
 | | The Old Faithful micro-quasar first revealed itself as a bright X-ray source in 1992, and in 1994 radio observations found jets streaking away from the fl hole at more than 90 percent of the speed of light. |
