Scientists Discover The Smallest Known Black Hole In The Milky Way Galaxy Dubbed The Unicorn !

Science 21 hours, 46 minutes It has recently come to light that the smallest-known black hole in the Milky Way galaxy has been discovered in the solar system which has been nicknamed by scientists as “the Unicorn”. The black hole that’s been discovered by the researchers is roughly three times the mass of our sun. As reported by Reuters, the smallest black hole “the Unicorn” has been located about 1,500 light-years from Earth. It has also been discovered that a luminous star called a red giant orbits with the black hole in a so-called binary star system named V723 Mon. We nicknamed this black hole the Unicorn partly because V723 Mon is in the Monoceros constellation - which translates to a unicorn - and partly because it is a very unique system in terms of the black hole s mass and relative closeness to Earth, said Ohio State University astronomy doctoral student Tharindu Jayasinghe. Jayasinghe is also the lead author of the study published th

One of the smallest black holes — and the closest to Earth so far — discovered Scientists call it the Unicorn

One of the smallest black holes and the closest to Earth so far discovered. Scientists call it the Unicorn. Dustin Barnes, USA TODAY Replay Video UP NEXT Astronomers have discovered one of the smallest black holes to date, sitting just 1,500 light-years away which also makes it the closest one to Earth found so far. And they have called it the Unicorn. The black hole was given the nickname in part because it s so rare but also because it was discovered in the constellation Monoceros, which means unicorn, according to a release from the Ohio State University.  Though it s roughly three times the mass of our sun, the size is considered tiny for a black hole.
