Two teams used Hubble data in their investigations - one led by Kailash Sahu of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland and the other by Casey Lam of the University of California, Berkeley. Then Hubble follows up on the most interesting such events. Ground-based telescopes, which monitor the brightness of millions of stars in the rich star fields toward the central bulge of our Milky Way, look for a tell-tale sudden brightening of one of them when a massive object passes between us and the star. However, a black hole warps space, which then deflects and amplifies starlight from anything that momentarily lines up exactly behind it.
Telescopes can't photograph a wayward black hole because it doesn't emit any light. Because the self-detonation is not perfectly symmetrical, the black hole may get a kick, and go careening through our galaxy like a blasted cannonball. These stars explode as supernovae, and the remnant core is crushed by gravity into a black hole. The nearest star to our solar system, Proxima Centauri, is a little over 4 light-years away.īlack holes roaming our galaxy are born from rare, monstrous stars (less than one-thousandth of the galaxy's stellar population) that are at least 20 times more massive than our Sun. However, its discovery allows astronomers to estimate that the nearest isolated stellar-mass black hole to Earth might be as close as 80 light-years away. The newly detected wandering black hole lies about 5,000 light-years away, in the Carina-Sagittarius spiral arm of our galaxy. Stellar-mass black holes are usually found with companion stars, making this one unusual. Until now, all black hole masses have been inferred statistically or through interactions in binary systems or in the cores of galaxies. Following six years of meticulous observations, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has, for the first time ever, provided direct evidence for a lone black hole drifting through interstellar space by a precise mass measurement of the phantom object.
