Gaia BH3's significant mass suggests it originated from a metal-poor star, which is thought to lose less mass over its lifetime, thus resulting in more material to produce a larger black hole ...
The Milky Way has a big newfound black hole, and it lurks close to Earth! This sleeping giant was discovered with the European space telescope Gaia, which tracks the motion of billions of stars in ...
Called Gaia BH3, it is 2,000 light-years away from Earth – or 11,000,000,000,000,000 miles – in the constellation Aquila. This makes it the second-closest known black hole to Earth ...
Gaia BH3 is also the second-closest black hole to Earth that we know of; the closest black hole is dubbed Gaia BH1. Scientists uncovered the black hole thanks to its companion star, which ...
Science writer Ben Skuse says the chance of a black hole destroying Earth is very unlikely. “This is because, at a distance, their gravitational pull is no more compelling than a star of the ...
making it the second-closest known black hole to Earth. Named Gaia BH3, it has a mass that is nearly 33 times that of our sun, and it’s located 1,926 light-years away in the Aquila constellation ...
The biggest hole formed from a collapsed star in the Milky Way Galaxy resides 2,000 light years away from Earth in the Aquila constellation. Researchers spotted the black hole when they noted the ...
There's a massive newly discovered black hole in the Milky Way, and it looms near the Earth. Using the European satellite telescope Gaia, which monitors the motion of billions of stars in our ...
This black hole is remarkably close to Earth as well, located in the constellation Aquila and is just 2000 light-years away, making it the second-closest known black hole to Earth. It was ...
making it the second-closest known black hole to Earth. The closest black hole is Gaia BH1, which is located about 1,500 light-years away and has a mass that is nearly 10 times that of our sun.
