Astronomers have discovered the largest stellar black hole in the Milky Way using data from the Gaia space observatory. The black hole, known as LB-1, is 70 times the mass of the sun and is located over 15,000 light-years away. This finding challenges current theories about the formation of black holes, as it is much larger than previously thought possible for a black hole to form within our galaxy. The discovery of LB-1 opens up new questions and possibilities for understanding the mysteries of black holes in our universe.
