The dormant black hole, dubbed Gaia BH1, sits 1,600 light-years away – three times closer than the last black hole to hold the record – in the constellation Ophiuchus. The black hole weighs 10 times the mass of our sun.
A paper published last week in the peer-reviewed Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society details the discovery of a "Sun-like star orbiting a dark object." The team of researchers initially identified the black hole using the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft, according to a news release from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

My greatest happiness is the $53,000 bi-weekly profit I get consistently from my $15,000 investment.
Still not far enough to send the democrats
Wonder what’s on the other side?
