A NEWFOUND BLACK HOLE IS THE CLOSEST ONE TO EARTH WE HAVE EVER FOUND

May 7, 2020 by Abhijit Mishra

The HR 6819 triple system, which consists of two stars and a black hole, is located in the modern constellation of Telescopium, which is visible from the Southern Hemisphere. The fifth-magnitude stars are bright enough to see without binoculars or a telescope under a clear, dark sky. (Image credit: SkySafari)

A newfound black hole may be the closest black hole to Earth, and you can spot its cosmic home in the night sky without a telescope.
