Stellar Vampires

How about this one - a stable binary pair consisting of a black hole and a white dwarf. The black hole is feeding from the white dwarf, but it could still last billions of years.

It's a great opportunity to study black holes and how they work. And the artists' impression is spectacular. I want to park a starship there and take pictures.
