Black holes are found throughout our universe. However, astronomers have discovered two new black holes close to Earth that have raised some eyebrows. While discovering black holes near Earth isn’t unusual, these two holes are much further from their stars than expected.
This has presented some questions for astronomers because it differs from how these binary systems are usually set up. Normally, when a black hole and a star share a system, they are known as binary systems, and the black hole usually eats away at the star.
That eating of the star is what makes the black holes much easier to spot, as they give off high-energy readings. However, black holes like these found close to Earth that are further from their star are “dark,” not creating high bursts of energy because they aren’t eating away at their star.

This makes them more challenging to track and, thus, harder to discover. Additionally, because they are located so far from their star, astronomers believe these black holes have very different formations than regular binary black holes.

As is often the case. I say to myself, "bet Judi Lynn is posting this."
She provides such interesting material.
