A new study says it may have discovered Earth's nearest black hole and it did it all by looking at a star's orbit.
A new study says that a star’s orbit may have revealed Earth’s nearest black hole. Further, the findings by the researchers leading the study could point toward the existence of more dormant black holes than scientists originally believed.
This has all helped push astronomers to observe space for the existence of black holes. And, once discovered, we can focus in on what’s happening to try to understand how they affect physics and even how they may have helped shape the universe in those early days. Now, a study published on theservers, says it may have discovered Earth’s nearest black hole. And it did it all using a star’s orbit.
The star in question is Gaia DR3 4373465352415301632, or Gaia BH1 as the researchers designated it for the study. But, because this black hole isn’t actively feeding off its star, the researchers believe it is a dormant black hole, similar to theearlier this year. But it isn’t the fact that this is Earth’s nearest black hole that makes this discovery important.
