Researchers have discovered a black hole 1,000 light-years from Earth, the closest one known so far.
Dubbed HR 6819, the black hole is invisible. The star system was only spotted after two companion stars provided researchers with information on its whereabouts. It can be seen on a clear night in the Southern Hemisphere without the use of a binocular or telescope, making it the first black hole to be seen without tools.
THE END IS NIGH
