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...
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
Astronomers have spotted the most massive known stellar black hole in the
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, making it the second-closest known black hole to Earth.
Astronomers have spotted the most massive known stellar black hole in the Milky Way galaxy after detecting an unusual wobble in space. The so-called “sleeping giant,” named Gaia BH3, 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, 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....
A black hole called Gaia BH3 is 'extremely' close to us, astronomically speaking, according to experts at the Paris Observatory in France.
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.
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

A new report from the Pew Research Center pokes a hole in the oft-repeated claim that a historic racial realignment is occurring within American politics, with nonwhite voters learning to love the GOP and Donald Trump. In recent years — days, even — there’s been a seemingly endless deluge of news stories hyping up this purported realignment as fact. Trump and his allies have been touting similar claims as well (which seems like all the more reason to question them). But you needn’t just take my...
