Record breaker! Astronomers discover Milky Way’s biggest stellar black hole

Dive into the cosmic depths with us as we explore Gaia-BH3, the Milky Way's largest stellar-mass black hole, located just 2,000 light-years away! Discovered by the Gaia telescope, this dormant giant challenges our understanding of black holes and suggests our galaxy is filled with hidden titans. Watch now to uncover how this discovery changes everything we thought we knew about our galactic neighborhood!

This is truly an example of Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s observation,”The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to us”! The entire observation is just an announcement of more incredible observations and understanding to come.

This is so fascinating. I love just looking up at the night sky.

[@Garrett0329]

You don’t have light pollution? That’s why I don’t look up. Too many artificial lights in phoenix Arizona. Back in the day when I lived in rural Arizona I loved the views! Not anymore 😢I moved near the main city.

[@mimi4moe]

@@Garrett0329 I moved away from the city. Still have some light pollution but not as bad as in the city.

thanks for the update.

Cosmological questions and the Tales of the Unknown, stimulating, but depressingly inconclusive, as they must be. I love all this stuff!!!

[@pharossymphony]

omg do you have to show the shot of the multiple black holes? Makes my skin crawl.

[@PriestessAusetRaAmen]

Fascinating.

Awesome video my friend.

Left this as a reply to another comment , BUT Thought it deserved better than being lost in the chaff . Not wrong , just incomplete ! From the beginning of the scientific method , whenever we were arrogant enough to think we knew it ALL , The Universe has shocked us back to reality with more information ! Don't try to limit the Universe to what you know , Learn more !

[@ioanbota9397]

I like this video its interestyng

[@user-bi5ft8wx8t]

is a dormant blackhole or a star that produces light we can't see? :p

[@mk1st]

Only 2KLY. That is close (relatively). It’ll be really cool if they discover a bunch more. Like exoplanets, there were just a few at first, but then….

[@LongLiveEnduro]

Can unfound Black holes be an explanation of dark matter effects? I.e. eventually making Dark Matter theory obsolete?

[@user-bk8tf6cw4b]

Love this channel!

[@crazyedswonderfulworldofso9370]

Milky Way's largest black hole??? How many black holes are in our galaxy to begin with? I thought each galaxy usually only had one black hole at the center??? I hadn't heard about others in our galaxy.

[@glasgowtravellers8729]

A stellar black hole is different from a super massive black hole that’s at the center of all galaxies

[@crazyedswonderfulworldofso9370]

​@@glasgowtravellers8729 I have never heard of black holes other than the ones at the center of a galaxy. If there are other types, it begs the questions: What happens when one black hole is swallowed by another? and What other types of black holes are we not presently aware of and what properties might they possess? Truly strange and mysterious times for discovery, that we find ourselves in. Something new every day.

[@glasgowtravellers8729]

@@crazyedswonderfulworldofso9370 yeah man it’s crazy what usually happens when black holes collide and merge it’s adds to there mass and 2 become 1 but a much more bigger one

[@vkobevk]

it is stellar black hole we dont know how supermassive black hole born

[@josephalley4360]

Black holes are how we aliens travel, haha seriously I have always thought in elementary school that black holes, worm hols thing's like that and I think there is more to link them together but it is how energy is flowing through the universe which makes it easy to ride the electric waves emitted through all of space.

[@Smithfield12345]

But we have Supermassive Black Hole

[@lucvanderstap6417]

Here you are, the long lost dark matter found at last. Just kidding but couldn't dormant black holes be the actual missing dark matter?

[@twobrotherskayaking4736]

I would rather see our space research resources spent on detecting near Earth asteroids that are large enough to cause extinction level events and their orbits that may allow them to impact our planet.

[@user-eh9uk1ew6f]

And there it is! The elusive dark matter that everyone has been looking for. All I can say is, about time. Took long enough.

[@user-bi5ft8wx8t]

imagine its cloaking :p

Mans thoughts on how black holes come into existence are wrong.

Why is it the only thing Einstein Idiots know about blackholes is they are "BIG"? Thankyou Mr. Obvious. Now tell us "WHAT" it is without saying "Quantum".
