A compact object, or a black hole, is seen ripping off gas from its sun-like companion that has filled its Roche Lobe. Gas from the star (called the donor)

NGC 3293, the Gem Cluster and Gabriela Mistral Nebula
NGC 3324 and 3293 are sparkling star clusters at the northwest corner of the Carina Nebula. NGC3293 is a small but very bright open cluster, called the Gem Cluster
