Gaia BH3 Black Hole – Earth’s Closest Monster

astonishing Discovery

Green Round Banner By Astronomers, Most massive stellar-mass black hole ever spotted.

In Gaia's third dataset, astronomers found a G-class star 1926 light-years away in Aquila, orbiting an unseen, extremely massive object.

Unlike the expectations of scientists, it was not only a stellar-mass black hole, but also the heaviest stellar-mass black hole in the Milky Way.

According to astronomers, the black hole is 33 times heavier than our Sun. As the second closest system to us after Gaia BH1, Gaia BH3 has been given the name Gaia BH3.

Gaia BH1 was found to be the closest black hole to Earth. It is 1560 light years away and is located in the constellation Ophiuchus. About 10 solar masses in size.

There is not much we know about this (Gaia BH3) system, but we know it orbits each other every 11.6 years.

Gaia BH3 is the largest stellar black hole discovered so far in terms of mass. But when it comes to its diameter, it is approximately around 100 kilometers.
