Closest Black Hole To Earth Found

Closest black hole to Earth was just found by astronomers from the European Space Observatory. It lies only about 1,000 light-years from Earth in the southern constellation of Telescopium and lives in a triple system.

If this Blackhole has been here before we knew about it wouldn't it have already swallowed us a long time ago?

[@flaminghell9572]

That makes no sense...?

[@Cosmoknowledge]

No, because the black hole is still too far away for its gravity to interact with us.

[@daltonbanks2627]

@@Cosmoknowledge Is ever going to get us?

[@johnbell4428]

It's a 1,000 light years away. This distance is close in terms of space but it is unimaginably far away. Being only 5 times the mass of our sun, it is very little for black holes. The supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy is 4 million solar masses! Even at that mass, it would easily fit within the orbit of Mercury. If you replaced our sun with a 1 solar mass black hole, it would exert no more gravitational force than our sun. It would be weird though.

The fact that it doesn't interact much and therefore appear 'truly black' makes it sound like a perfect villain. Mysterious, appearance unknown, hiding in plain sight.

Hahaa exactly.

[@anbubeanz632]

Btw what does light years means .???

Light year is a unit of distance. 1 light year is equivalent to 6 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km)

[@geemanbmw]

@@jimlongasa9132 let me embellish on that...a light year is the distance light travels in the vacuum of space in a Julian calendar year which is 365 days and in that time light will have traveled the distance of 5.8 trillion miles.

@@ferrisbueller5613 take a deep breath, look into your butt hole, it's impossible right? Because a black hole is very dark, you can't see it. You could probably see it because it looks like a mirror that is swirling. But light can't pass through it, so you can't see it.
