V4641 Sagittarii was the closest known black hole to Earth at a distance of about 1,600 light years.
However, later observations placed the figure at more than 24,000 light years (Just shows how errant astronomy can be).
Latest figures place Cygnus X-1 as the closest, at 6,000 light years away.
This will change as instruments get better.
The closest black hole to Earth is a faint object in the milky way galaxy,normally about a million times to faint to be seen with a naked eye,sometimes give out bursts of,X-rays.Known as V404 Cygni,it is the most likely blach hole in our galaxy.V404 Cygni is a binary system.The two stars orbit each other in 6.5 days.One star may be similar to the sun ,the other is very dense about 6 times as massive as the sun-safely over the 'blach hole' limit.
You can find a list of black holes in the Wikipedia ("List of black holes"). The nearest known black hole is at a distance of about 3000 light-years; I would guess that black holes closer than that will eventually be found.
The location of the nearest black hole to Earth is a shifting target since studies are ongoing. To date, the closest stellar mass black hole to us is thought to be A0620-00 (V616 Monocerotis, or V616 Mon, the 'Unicorn' constellation), at around 3,000 light years distance. A previous candidate thought to be only 1,600 light years away was later shown to be much more distant.
The closest black hole from Earth is V4641 Sgr, which is 1,600 light-years (100,000,000 AU) away, has a diameter of 18-60km, and a mass that's 3-10x greater than our sun.
The closest KNOWN black hole is about 3000 light-years away. I believe it very likely that there are black holes closer to us, that simply haven't been discovered yet.
The nearest known black hole to us is the system V4641 Sagitarii at about 1,600 light years away.
The nearest supermassive black hole is at the center of our galaxy about 26,000 light years away.
The closest black hole from Earth is V4641 Sgr, which is 1,600 light-years (100,000,000 AU) away.
The nearest black hole to earth is V4641 Sgr, which is 1,600 light-years (100,000,000 AU) from Earth.
The nearest black hole to Earth is V4641 Sgr and located 1600 light years away.
The nearest black hole to the Earth is about 9.7 light years away!
No. The nearest black hole is about 1,600 light years away.
The black hole nearest to our Earth is (fortunately) several thousand light years away. No human has been farther from our Earth than our Moon. Thus, we are technologically quite a ways away from being able to travel to a black hole.
Because the nearest black hole is over 1,600 light years away.
The nearest black hole to Earth is V4641 Sgr and located 1600 light years away.
We believe that the nearest black hole is V616 Monocerotis, which is about 3500 light years away.
The nearest black hole to the Earth is about 9.7 light years away!
No. The nearest one that we are currently aware of is about 1,600 light years away.
No. The nearest black hole is about 1,600 light years away.
The nearest black hole to Mercury is about 1600 light years away.
Since the nearest black hole is many light years away from Earth, it's impossible for a scientist to physically travel to a black hole to study it. Instead, they have to make do with observing the effects of black holes from Earth.
The black hole nearest to our Earth is (fortunately) several thousand light years away. No human has been farther from our Earth than our Moon. Thus, we are technologically quite a ways away from being able to travel to a black hole.
No. The nearest black holes to Earth are many light years away, much to far to affect us.
It seems that the nearest known black hole is at a distance of about 3000 light-years.
Nobody has ever visited a black hole. The nearest known black hole is many light years away. Much to far away for us to reach it.
Not sure which black hole is "the" black hole to which you are referring. The nearest such object to our Earth is thousands of light years away, so it's certainly no threat. As best we can tell, our Earth will last until our Sun becomes a red giant in a few billion years, at which point our Earth will be vaporized.
