AI illustration of the real object
DISTANCE about 3,300 light yearsMASS about 6.6 Suns

One of the closest known black holes, quietly circling with a small orange companion star. Reassurance is in order: even our nearest black hole is thousands of light years away, and black holes do not vacuum up the galaxy. At a distance, their gravity behaves like any star's. You would have to get astonishingly close to be in trouble.
