How will the Discovery of a Black Hole Closest to Earth Affect Human Life on Earth?

How will the Discovery of a Black Hole Closest to Earth Affect Human Life on Earth?

Hiding in plain sight.

That’s what Kareem El-Badry, an astronomer and a Ph.D. student at the University of California, had to say about the discovery of a new black hole. According to Badry, scientists have been studying the star system in which astronomers discovered this black hole since the 80s.

And if that is so, one is forced to ask the question:

Why Did it Take So Long to Discover This Black Hole?

Well, for one, black holes are . . . black. And space is . . . black. It’s kind of difficult to differentiate between the two. But we did capture an actual photo of a black hole last year, didn’t we? And that photo very closely resembled most digital representations of black holes.


This black hole, however, is kind of different. It interacts nonviolently with its environment. By this, we mean that it does not “feed off” clouds of gas—and therefore does not have a visible enough event horizon.

When astronomers discovered this black hole, they had instead been studying a pair of stars: the HR 6819. These stars had been observed behaving strangely: they orbited each other. That happens sometimes. It’s called a binary star system.

But there was more to this star system.

In 2004, it was confirmed that the system was different from standard binary star systems. At some point, astronomers must have realized that the stars weren’t orbiting each other: they were orbiting another object.

In 2004, it was confirmed that the system was different from standard binary star systems. At some point, astronomers must have realized that the stars weren’t orbiting each other: they were orbiting another object. An invisible object with a force of gravity massive enough to force the revolution. That object could only have been one thing: a black hole.

How Significant is This Discovery?

The discovery spells out, for science, another step in the ongoing developments on black hole-related research. Space science is certainly the star of the hour. But the discovery is far more significant for humankind.

The discovery is revolutionary for many reasons. For one, it confirms that our own Milky Way is full of black holes. It also may confirm that extraterrestrial life, existing on planets orbiting these black holes, is closer to Earth than we reckoned.

The black hole is said to be a thousand light-years away. That might seem like an impossibly long distance to humans, but what would it be for beings that are far more advanced?

We know that habitable planets revolve around black holes. We might have evidence that UFOs could be flying out of supermassive black holes. Entire rogue worlds could easily exist in the planetary systems around these huge centers of gravity—and now we know one exists in our own backyard.

Time for Caution or Celebration?

For some time, hidden truth researchers have known that benevolent, as well as mercenary extraterrestrials exist near us—and even among us.

Scientists Just Discovered a New Black Hole: And it’s the Closest the Earth has Ever Been to One!

The Biggest Black Hole Discovery—Ever No discovery or scientific achievement of the current century comes close to the picture of a black hole that scientists captured last year.

Ever since Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar came out, people have a renewed interest in finding out more about black holes. Black holes are spectacular phenomena that threaten all laws of nature and physics as humans know them. Perhaps that is why they continue to fascinate us ever since Carl Sagan raved about them in his Cosmos.

We started thence—and we have never stopped theorizing or fantasizing about black holes.

The Biggest Black Hole Discovery—Ever

No discovery or scientific achievement of the current century comes close to the picture of a black hole that scientists captured last year. The image was captured after a massive undertaking by various scientists. A scattering of telescopes placed strategically all around the world worked in unison to capture the now-memorable picture.

For the first time in the history of mankind, we were all looking at the strangest possible thing: we were looking directly at a place where Time stops.

What Black Holes Mean for Humans—and for Extraterrestrials

Scientists Just Discovered a New Black Hole: And it’s the Closest the Earth has Ever Been to One!

We mentioned Interstellar at the beginning of this blog because we wanted to go back to it. The movie explores an interesting question: that of life outside of Earth. It insinuates that there is life outside, on habitable planets, which exist near a supermassive black hole.

This might not be too far from the truth—although most authorities would never corroborate.

People of science vehemently oppose the idea of extraterrestrials—some by delusion and some by design. After all, we all witnessed the fierce attempt to keep Area 51 a secret. However, the theory of the existence of black holes, and its irrefutable proof in the form of a picture are damning evidence—evidence that there is so much more out there than we imagine.

It’s possible that advanced aliens, beings with higher intelligence, may use black holes for travel. NASA scientists themselves have confirmed as much: alien life could exist on planets orbiting a black hole.

And guess what? They just discovered a brand-new black hole—closer to Earth than all others of its kind.

The Newest Black Hole Discovery

It’s 1000 light-years away. It’s in a constellation called Telescopium—perhaps because it can be seen with a telescope. In this case, it can be seen from the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope located in Chile’s ESO’s La Silla Observatory.

And on the 6th of May, 2020, astronomers confirmed that a black hole sits in the center of this constellation.

The discovery, initially, was that of an invisible object. Astronomers noticed that two stars in this close constellation kept revolving—as if they were performing a pilgrimage around an invisible place of worship. It was the first time that humans saw fool-proof evidence of a black hole with an unaided eye.

The black hole is so close to home it’s practically in our backyard. And since we know that alien life can exist on planets orbiting black holes, this discovery opens a grand Pandora’s box of possibilities.
