The enormous stellar 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける hiding in Earth's backyard: Scientists discover a 抱擁する 無効の in the 乳の Way that's 33 times as 大規模な as the Sun

With their ability to gobble up entire 惑星s, 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開けるs must be the most 恐れるd 反対するs in the universe.?

Unfortunately, scientists in フラン have 設立する another one in our 星雲 ? and they 警告する that it is '極端に' の近くに to us, astronomically speaking.?

Called?Gaia BH3, it is 2,000 light-years away from Earth ? or 11,000,000,000,000,000 miles ? in the 星座 Aquila.?

This makes it the second-closest known 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける to Earth, after?Gaia BH1, which is about 1,500 light-years away.

If this sounds worrying, Dr Pasquale Panuzzo, an 天文学者 at the Paris 観測所, 保証するs us 'there is no 推論する/理由 to be 脅すd'.?

Famously an inspiration for sci-fi movies, black holes are regions of spacetime where gravity's pull is so strong that even light can not get out. They act as intense sources of gravity that hoover up surrounding matter like dust and gas, as well as planets and even other black holes

'The 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける is の近くに to us, on the 規模 of our 星雲,' he told MailOnline.?

'But it is still 2000 light years away, 500 times その上の than?Proxima Centaury (the closest 星/主役にする), and will never come much closer in the 未来.'?

黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける Gaia BH3 resides not in a solar system of its own, but in a 'binary system', 構成するing the 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける and a 星/主役にする, which is やめる rare.?

Interestingly, the 星/主役にする 軌道s the 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける, and this gives the 星/主役にする an?半端物 'wobbling' 動議 in its 軌道.?

The wobbling was 手段d over several years with the European Space 機関's Gaia space telescope, 駅/配置するd around 930,000 miles (1.5 million km) from Earth.

付加 data from other telescopes, 含むing ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, 確認するd that the 集まり of this 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける is 33 times that of our sun.??

Dr Panuzzo and 同僚s say Gaia BH3 is a 'stellar 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける', so it's on the lowest 分類 when it comes to 手段ing the 集まり of 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開けるs.

However,?Gaia BH3 is still the second-largest 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける in our 星雲, the 乳の Way.?

This black hole was spotted in data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission because it imposes an odd ‘wobbling’ motion on 
the companion star orbiting it. Pictured is the star (blue) orbiting the black hole (red)

The three types of 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける?

Stellar: Five to several tens of solar 集まりs (one solar 集まり is the 集まり of our sun)

中間の: 100 to 100,000 solar 集まりs

Supermassive: Millions to billions of solar 集まりs

The largest 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける in the 乳の Way is Sagittarius A*, at the 星雲's centre, which has a solar 集まり of around 4 million ? and is spinning so 急速な/放蕩な?it's taken on the 形態/調整 of a football.

However, Sagittarius A* is 26,670 light years away from Earth, so 13 times the distance of Gaia BH3.

The question of how 正確に/まさに the newly-設立する binary system (機の)カム to be ? すなわち with a 星/主役にする 軌道ing a 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける ? will be the 支配する of 未来 熟考する/考慮する.?

However, Dr Panuzzo ? who is the main author of a 熟考する/考慮する about the findings published today in?Astronomy & Astrophysics?? has some theories.?

'The classic シナリオ would be that the system was composed by a 大規模な 星/主役にする (that 崩壊(する)d and formed the 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける) and a low 集まり 星/主役にする (the one that we see today),' he told MailOnline.

'Another シナリオ is that the low 集まり companion 星/主役にする was 逮捕(する)d by the 黒人/ボイコット 穴を開ける after its birth.

'We have several hints that point toward this latter シナリオ as more probable.'

This image compares the new find with two smaller black holes in our galaxy. Gaia BH1 is the closest black hole to us but it is on
ly 10 times the mass of our sun (10 solar masses). Meanwhile, Cygnus X-1 is twice as large as this, at 21 solar masses.?Gaia BH3 is a hefty 33 solar masses, but it is still completely dwarfed by?Sagittarius A*, the largest black hole in our galaxy (around 4 million solar masses)

Before now, the second-closest known black hole to Earth was Gaia BH2. Now we know that Gaia BH1 is the closest black hole to us, followed by Gaia BH3 (the new discovery) and then Gaia BH2

FIVE BLACK HOLE THEORIES THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND?

黒人/ボイコット 穴を開けるs are の中で the most fascinating and ひどく 審議d 反対するs in the universe.

They have 逮捕(する)d the public's imagination for 10年間s, partly thanks to the late Stephen 強硬派ing, who transformed them from a difficult-to-understand 科学の theory to a source of mysterious wonder.
