Astronomers have a new candidate in their search for the nearest black hole to Earth. It's about 1,000 light-years away, or roughly 9.5 thousand, million, million km, in the Constellation Telescopium.

"Overall, it's not surprising that black holes should be in triples, but what's surprising is that this system held onto the outer star after forming the black hole." Astronomers have discovered ...

The outward force from its fusion can no longer counteract the star's powerful gravity, and the star collapses in on itself.

Now, researchers using NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) have gathered data about 12 known black holes to determine the structural properties of accretion disks around different sized ...
