The astronomers have discovered a black hole 1,000 light-years from Earth. After a detailed analysis of the requisite data, the astronomers found that a black hole with a mass over four times that of our sun, and just 1,000 light-years from Earth. Baade said that this black hole is 'truly black', adding that the star is 'not so massive', and loses a lot of gas which makes it dark. “It may also be the first-ever [black hole of this kind],” he said. A black hole is an object which is formed from the gravitational collapse of a massive star.
