Welcome to the science of space channel today we are gonna talk about that are we safe from these nearest black holes to Earth?
Black holes should be common in our Milky Way galaxy, but because of their dark appearance only dozens have been discovered to date. By nature, black holes are impossible to see directly. But astronomers can sense their presence by the way they interact with their environments, letting us glimpse of these objects whose gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, not even light. In the past century, not only have astronomers shown that black holes do exist, but they’ve found dozens in our own galaxy.
However, based on the number of stars in our galaxy, there should actually be tens of millions out there. Well the trouble is that, unless they’re near another star, they can be hard to detect. In these binary systems, a black hole can steal material from its companion star, generating distinct X-ray light in the process. A 2016 paper reported 77 nearby candidate black holes from such X-ray observations. Out of which, we’ve picked only 9 of the closest binary star systems to Earth, that contains at least one stellar black hole.
Timescales:-
01:06 - LB-1 Black Hole
01:47 - GRO J1655-40 Black Hole
02:42 - GS2000+25 Black Hole
03:10 - GRO J0422+32 Black Hole
03:54 - V404 Cygni Black Hole
