Largest Stellar Black Hole in the Milky Way Just Discovered
Astronomers have discovered a colossal BH in our Milky Way galaxy 33 times the mass of our Sun and remarkably close to Earth. It’s the largest known of its kind in our galaxy, formed from a collapsing star.
A Cosmic Giant Black Hole Close to Home
Astronomers recently uncovered a massive BH within our Milky Way, weighing in at 33 times the Sun’s mass. It now holds the record as the largest stellar BH in our galaxy. Even more astonishing is its proximity to Earth, which allows for more detailed observations than ever before.

Born from a Star’s Collapse
This BH formed when a giant star collapsed under its own gravity. After using up its nuclear fuel, the star exploded in a supernova, leaving behind this enormous gravitational singularity.
Why This Discovery Matters
The discovery challenges existing models of BH formation, particularly in our relatively quiet corner of the galaxy. Astronomers now have new data to refine their understanding of how such extreme cosmic phenomena form and evolve.
What’s Next in Research?
Astronomers will now turn their telescopes to this black hole for further observations. Its proximity could allow for high-resolution data collection, revealing more about the behavior of matter around such massive objects and potentially even testing Einstein’s theories more precisely.
