Astronomers used the International Gemini Observatory to spot the black hole near Earth.

Astronomers say that this black hole is only 1600 light years away from Earth.

Astronomers have said there are more than 100 million stellar mass black holes in our Milky Way.

Some detected in the black hole were uncovered by their energetic interactions.

Gaia BH1 is the name given by astronomers to this black hole.

Gaia is the main reason for the discovery of the BH1 black hole. From this, we can imagine the potential of Gaia, said Gaia team member Tineke.
