 🤯Astronomers just discovered the LARGEST stellar black hole in our Milky Way galaxy, with a MASSIVE 33 times the mass of our Sun! 🌞🕳️

🔭Meet Gaia BH3, found by pure chance thanks to data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission. What a cosmic surprise! 🌌🎉

🌟Located 2,000 light years away from Earth in the Aquila constellation, this black hole was detected as Gaia's powerful telescope precisely mapped the positions of stars and their orbits. 🌠✨

🚀Shoutout to the astronomers at the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and Observatoire de Paris for this epic find!🔬🌠 #BlackHole #MilkyWay #Astronomy #GaiaMission

 33 the mass or size? I don't think 33 times is "massive", only a made up number for msm comms.
