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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
