The space is full of wonders and every day we find something new. Now, astronomers have discovered a black hole in our Milky Way galaxy via the International Gemini Observatory in Hawaii. Dubbed Gaia BH1, this spatial anomaly is dormant and almost ten times bigger than the Sun. It is located in the Ophiuchus constellation, about 1,600 light-years from Earth.
