Scientists spot startlingly close black holes in Hyades star cluster.
They're more than 1,400 light years closer than the previous record holder.
Previous record holder Gaia BH1 is located 1,560 light years from Earth .
A black hole 150 light years away is still a ways off locally speaking, but not in the grand scheme of the Milky Way .
