The recent discovery of a binary system containing an extremely rare object, the most massive black hole (apart from SgrA ) ever detected in our Galaxy, calls into question the models for the formation of these bodies.
And it's extremely close to Earth.
May help explain why we see so many of these monsters colliding.
After a devastating round of severe weather and tornados swept through the area Friday afternoon, Omaha Police provided some important updates to those impacted.
The Debrief recently reported that scientists from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission have located a black hole with a mass of 33 solar masses, which makes it the largest black hole of stellar origin ever discovered in the Milky Way galaxy.The discovery, which was found after Gaia's fourth data release, could shed new light on the formation and prevalence of black holes throughout the known universe.The black hole, which has been named Gaia BH3, is part of a binary system located around...

Bill Foley’s Black Knights to the rescue. It’s a narrative that’s been out there from the very moment we reported on his intent to establish Hibs as the undisputed third force in Scottish football. For six months now, there’s been this promise of great things to come. And, sure, the £6 million up front was undoubtedly a welcome element of the billionaire Bournemouth owner’s buy-in. But the real value of the deal arguably lies in the experience and expertise Foley – and his associates – will...
European astronomers have confirmed the existence of Gaia BH3, a previously unknown stellar black hole. BH3 is the most massive stellar black hole discovered in the Milky Way so far and the second largest black hole in the galaxy after the supermassive monster known as Sagittarius A .Read Entire Article
The massive stellar black hole is far larger than any previously discovered in our galaxy, yet it is the second-closest known black hole to Earth. : Biggest stellar black hole in our galaxy is ‘extremely close’ to Earth
Researchers at the University of Würzburg have developed a method that can improve the performance of quantum resistance standards. It's based on a quantum phenomenon called Quantum Anomalous Hall effect.
Astronomers have spotted the most massive known stellar black hole in the
In addition to the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way also serves as home to smaller stellar black holes that form when a massive star collapses. Scientists believe there are 100 million stellar black holes in our galaxy alone, but most of them have yet to be discovered. The ones that had already been found are, on average, around 10 times the size of our sun, with the biggest one reaching 21 solar masses. Thanks to the information collected by the European Space...
