Astronomers are puzzled by a black hole that has been acting strangely. The black hole has been emitting radio waves, x-rays, and jets. The black hole is also orbited by a star that is somehow not being destroyed by the black hole. Scientists are not sure what is causing the black hole's behavior, but they are hoping that the space-based gravitational-wave detector LISA will be able to help them solve the mystery.
