    >The announcement of M33 X-7 as the heaviest stellar black hole was made in
    >a flash - the second that Nature's embargo expired - but the struggle to
    >understand this record-breaking binary system lasted 26 years. That's long
    >enough for the black hole and its companion to dance around each other more
    >than 2500 times! Like many puzzles, it involved a few mistakes and a
    >healthy dose of luck, as revealed in the story behind the discovery.
