Black holes are one of the most mysterious and fascinating phenomena in the Universe. Researchers suggest the presence of several black holes in the Hyades cluster, potentially the closest to Earth, using simulations and data from the Gaia space telescope. A paper published in the journal Mont
The new study could have far-reaching implications on how black holes form.
The simulation results were compared with the actual positions and velocities of the stars in the Hyades, which are now known precisely from observations made by the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Gaia satellite.
Astrophysicists have hinted at the existence of several black holes in the Hyades cluster -- the closest open cluster to our solar system -- which would make them the closest black holes to Earth ever detected.
The announcement was made by the governments of India and the US today and was highlighted during the meeting of the US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi at the G20 summit in New Delhi.
