Stellar black holes are formed by the gravitational collapse of a star with very few elements heavier than hydrogen and helium in their chemical composition. Gaia BH3's significant mass suggests ...
ASTRONOMERS have uncovered a massive black hole just 1,924 light-years from our solar system. Located in the constellation of Aquila, the monster black hole is known as Gaia BH3 (or simply BH3).
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.
