"Close Encounter: Massive 'Sleeping Giant' Black Hole Discovered in Milky Way"

Astronomers have discovered the most massive known stellar black hole in the Milky Way, named Gaia BH3, located 1,926 light-years away in the Aquila constellation. This "sleeping giant" has a mass nearly 33 times that of our sun and was found through observations taken by the Gaia space telescope. The discovery offers new insights into the formation of high-mass black holes and their connection to metal-poor stars. This unexpected find has the potential to transform our understanding of astronomy and astrophysics.

"Massive 'Sleeping Giant' Black Hole Discovered Just 2000 Light-Years from Earth"

Astronomers have discovered the most massive known stellar black hole in the Milky Way, named Gaia BH3, located 1,926 light-years away in the Aquila constellation. This "sleeping giant" has a mass nearly 33 times that of our sun and was found through an unusual wobble in space. The discovery offers new insights into the formation of high-mass black holes and their connection to metal-poor stars. The findings, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, were made using the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope and ground-based observatories. This unexpected discovery is expected to have a significant impact on astronomy and astrophysics.

"Surprise Discovery: Massive Stellar Black Hole Lurking Near Milky Way"

Astronomers have discovered the largest stellar black hole, Gaia BH3, in our galaxy, which is around 33 times the mass of the sun and located 2,000 light years away. This once-in-a-lifetime find was made possible by analyzing data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission, which revealed a star's wobbling motion caused by its orbit around the black hole. The discovery sheds light on the formation of high-mass black holes and challenges conventional wisdom about their origins, with further data expected to be released in 2025.
