Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects. Gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape. So it is difficult to see them. But modern human tools can remedy this. This allows us to know where black holes are located in the universe, particularly at the center of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. has been identified as having a supermassive black hole. (supermassive black hole) named Sagittarius A* or Sgr A* resides in this giant black hole which has a mass 4 million times that of the Sun and is approximately 26,000 light years from Earth.

But recently The research team was led by engineers from the National Center for Scientific Research. Working at the Paris Observatory Observed during the European Space Agency’s Gaia space mission. with data from the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Sky Observatory and other ground-based observatories Report on the discovery of the largest stellar black hole in the Milky Way. Named Gaia BH3, it has a mass 33 times that of the Sun. The team revealed that Gaia BH3 was accidentally discovered in the Eagle constellation. And this huge black hole was formed following the explosion of a star located just 2,000 light years from Earth.

The research team determined that Gaia BH3 is a black hole that may have formed following the death of a star with a mass more than 40 times that of the sun. Black holes form as a result of the collapse of a single star and are therefore called stellar black holes. It is also the second closest black hole to us discovered so far.
