European Space Agency astronomers discovered the most massive stellar black hole.

Astronomers at the European Space Agency (ESA) discovered the biggest stellar black hole, named Gaia BH3, in the Milky Way galaxy with a mass 33 times that of the Sun. This black hole was found during data collection from ESA's Gaia mission and causes an odd 'wobbling' motion on the companion star orbiting it. Located 2,000 light-years away in the constellation Aquila, it is the second-closest known black hole to Earth. Gaia BH3 is the most massive stellar black hole found in our galaxy so far.
