Gaia mission have discovered the most massive stellar black hole known in the Milky Way Galaxy, weighing in at 33 times the mass of our Sun. Fittingly dubbed Gaia BH3, the "sleeping giant" is located less than 2,

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 our galaxy.

How big is the biggest black hole? This is what a recent study submitted to Astronomy and Astrophysics hopes to address as a team of more than 100 internat | Space

Astronomers have discovered a large stellar mass black hole which weighs in at 33 times the mass of the sun and is located just 2,000 light-years away.The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox

Astronomers have found the most massive stellar black hole to date in the Milky Way galaxy, and it was all due to the wobble of the object’s companion star.

Researchers have found the biggest black hole in our solar system. The black hole is located 2,000 light years from Earth.

Astronomers have discovered the heaviest stellar black hole in the Milky Way and it's only a startling 2,000 light-years away from Earth.

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,

A massive black hole has been spotted less than 2,000 light-years away, making it the second-closest known black hole to the earth. Astronomers discovered the “sleeping giant” while combing through observations from the European Space Agency’s Gaia Space Telescope.

Astronomers say they discovered the black hole because of the star that orbits around it and they found it lurking right around the corner from Earth. So how big and how close is it?

Astronomers from the Observatoire de Paris at France's National Centre for Scientific Research scoured Gaia data looking for evidence of new black holes, and they hit the jackpot with Gaia BH3. It tips the scales at 33 solar masses,
