Astronomers discover the two closest black holes to Earth

Astronomers have discovered the two closest black holes to Earth from data collected by the European Space Agency's Gaia spacecraft.

Extraordinarily, both black holes were discovered to be orbited by stars at much greater distances than previously observed in other black hole-companion star pairings.
