In space telescope NASA "Swift" fixed-ray flashes, indicating the discovery and the survival of a new black hole, which was previously unknown. It is located at 20-30 thousand light-years from Earth. Flash X-ray peak of the supernova occurred on September 18. Flash output is 10 thousand volts, but two days of observation exposed that the radiation has increased by 30 times.
