Nice... which would make it impossible to be a black hole, of course (since you can't see black holes, per se) but it is the next best thing: a Pulsar.
When large stars collapse, they can form black holes. When smaller stars collapse, they can form neutrons... if neutrons are spinning around really really fast (like 60 rotations a second), they're called Pulsars... and that's what that is.
And they do look cool, for sure. Thanks for sharing.
