Scientists Find The Most Massive Stellar Black Hole Ever Detected in The Milky Way Galaxy
After detecting an unusual wobble in space, astronomers were led to a new discovery in our own Milky Way—the massive stellar black hole known as Gaia BH3. Located about 2,000 light-years away in the constellation of Aquila, the Eagle, Gaia BH3 is currently the most massive stellar black hole identified within our galaxy. Despite sensational headlines, its considerable distance makes it completely harmless to our solar system.
The discovery was made through data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission, aimed at creating a 3D map of a billion stars. Analysts noticed a peculiar motion in one of the stars caused by the gravitational effects of Gaia BH3, which is an astounding 33 times the mass of our Sun. This colossal mass is concentrated into a point in space so dense that it bends the fabric of space itself.
Further measurements confirmed that Gaia BH3's companion star orbits it every 11.6 years and showed no signs of disruption from a supernova, indicating that the black hole formed long before capturing its stellar companion.
Gaia BH3, alongside other findings, could potentially revolutionize our understanding of black hole formation and behavior. This discovery invites astronomers worldwide to further investigate these cosmic giants, paving the way for new insights into the fundamental processes of our universe.
