Scientists Find The Most Massive Stellar Black Hole Ever Detected in The Milky Way Galaxy After detecting an unusual wobble in space, astronomers were led to a new discovery in our own Milky Way—the massive stellar black hole known as Gaia BH3. Located about 2,000 light-years away in the constellation of Aquila, the Eagle, Gaia BH3 is currently the most massive stellar black hole identified within our galaxy. Despite sensational headlines, its considerable distance makes it completely harmless to our solar system. The discovery was made through data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission, aimed at creating a 3D map of a billion stars. Analysts noticed a peculiar motion in one of the stars caused by the gravitational effects of Gaia BH3, which is an astounding 33 times the mass of our Sun. This colossal mass is concentrated into a point in space so dense that it bends the fabric of space itself. Further measurements confirmed that Gaia BH3's companion star orbits it every 11.6 years and showed no signs of disruption from a supernova, indicating that the black hole formed long before capturing its stellar companion. Gaia BH3, alongside other findings, could potentially revolutionize our understanding of black hole formation and behavior. This discovery invites astronomers worldwide to further investigate these cosmic giants, paving the way for new insights into the fundamental processes of our universe.

A star in the Corona Borealis constellation is about to explode. The recurrent nova, T Coronae Borealis, has an outburst every 80 years. The next one is expected between now and September. What can we expect to see when looking up at the night sky? And what should we know about watching this rare event?

What would happen to the Moon if Earth was shaped like a donut? The good news is, we'd still have it. Most likely, it would be pulled towards the hole, and bob up and down in the middle of the planet. Or, it could be affected by the gravity of the donut's outer edges, and create a figure eight orbit around Earth.

On the evening of May 10 into the morning of May 11 an extremely strong geomagnetic storm effected Earth causing the Northern Lights to appear across much of the world. Due to the extreme intensity of the storm, the lights appeared much further south than normal and in this case were directly overhead in much of New England. This once in a lifetime experience was had by millions including myself as I documented the show in southern Maine.

Space Shuttle secret mission STS-27, just seconds from disaster. Get the story from astronaut Hoot Gibson. STS-27 was the 27th NASA Space Shuttle mission and the third flight of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Launching on December 2, 1988, on a four-day mission, it was the second shuttle flight after the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster of January 1986. STS-27 carried a classified payload for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), ultimately determined to be a Lacrosse surveillance satellite. The vessel's heat shielding was substantially damaged during lift-off, and crew members thought that they would die during re-entry.

Uranus from my 16” inches telescope! #uranus #space #telescope #shorts

The largest star ever discovered, Stephenson 2-18, is absolutely massive. It's difficult to even wrap your mind around it. But when you compare it to the largest theoretical black hole in the universe, Phoenix-A, even the star looks tiny.

Does Jupiter really sometimes move backward in the sky? Discover the science behind this cosmic phenomenon.

In one of the least explored regions of our solar system, there is an ice giant that scientists believe can help us unlock some of the remaining mysteries of our universe. This video takes us on a journey there to explore planet Uranus, as well as its rings and moons, highlighting many fascinating features. We also look back on what was discovered by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, as well as subsequent findings by ground-based telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope. The ongoing search for ocean worlds and life beyond Earth makes Uranus an exciting target for the James Webb Space Telescope and for future up-close exploration.

A once-in-a-lifetime celestial event may be nearing — and Canadians will be able to see when it does. The binary star T Corona Borealis is set to go nova — which it does every 80 years — before September. The star is normally too faint to see with the naked eye but the explosion, when it occurs, will be nearly as bright as the North Star, according to NASA. “This is a real, live stellar laboratory where we can look at… all sorts of astrophysical interesting processes,” York University professor emeritus of physics and astronomy Paul Delaney told Global News.

NGC 5468, a galaxy located about 130 million light-years from Earth face-on spiral galaxy with four spiral arms that curve outward in a counterclockwise direction. The spiral arms are filled with young, blue stars and peppered with purplish star-forming regions that appear as small blobs. The middle of the galaxy is much brighter and more yellowish, and has a distinct narrow linear bar angled from 11 o’clock to 5 o’clock
