Description
Experimental and theoretical data on the Cygnys X-1 X-ray source are reviewed in brief. It is supposed that the Cygnys X-1 is in a black hole. The geometry of gas flows with accretion is considered along with various mechanisms of generation of the Cygnys X-1 radiation. A fast time variation of the X-ray radiation, a large mass of double system component spectroscopically invisible in an optical range, and some other facts testify that the Cygnys X-1 is a black hole
