Summary
Nutrition label

85% Informative

Black hole is located 5,000 light years from Earth in the constellation of Sagittarius .

It is seven times more massive than our sun and would have remained totally invisible to astronomers were it not for a ' one in a million' chance of aligning with a large star.

Theoretical estimates suggest there could be up to 100 million black holes hidden among the billions of stars in the Milky Way.

The only sign of their existence is the way their gravity stretches spacetime.
