Scientists in France discovered Gaia BH3, the second-closest black hole to Earth in the Milky Way, 2,000 light-years away, reassuring there's no need to fear its distant presence.
Located in a 'binary system' with a star, Gaia BH3 is described as a 'stellar black hole' with a mass 33 times that of the sun, making it the second-largest black hole in the galaxy.
Observations from various telescopes confirm the unique relationship between the black hole and its companion star, showcasing the rare 'wobbling' motion caused by the star's orbital path around the black hole.
