Unprecedented discovery: Two unique black holes found near Earth
Astronomers have discovered two black holes close to Earth that are much further from their stars than expected, presenting questions about their formation and detection. Unlike regular binary black holes, these "dark" black holes are not eating away at their stars, making them harder to track and discover. The discovery was fueled by data captured by the European Space Agency's Gaia spacecraft, and researchers hope to uncover more "dark" black holes within that data.
