Gaia BH-3 is the name given to the largest black hole to be found in our Milky Way galaxy, said to be about 33 times the size of our sun and 2000 light years away. The information enabling this discovery was obtained by European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope, launched in 2013 and in operation until earlier this year.
The telescope analyzed the precise positions, speeds and trajectories of over 2 billion of the most visible stars and sent the figures to earth in four batches.
Now that the existence of this immense black hole is known, earthlings should be careful to avoid it.
