The black hole and star orbit the system barycentre every 11.6 years, with an orbital distance ranging from 4.5–29 AU. [3] The black hole's mass is 32.70 M ☉, the heaviest known stellar black hole in the Milky Way. The black hole Gaia BH3 is the second known stellar black hole more massive than about 10 M ☉ (with the first being Cygnus X-1).

A black hole with a mass of around 1 M ☉ will vanish in around 2 × 10 64 years. As the lifetime of a black hole is proportional to the cube of its mass, more massive black holes take longer to decay. A supermassive black hole with a mass of 10 11 (100 billion) M ☉ will evaporate in around 2 × 10 93 years. [45]
Black holes don’t gulp up everything at once, but one star’s last light is still gleaming three years later, puzzling astrophysicists.
The star is moving so fast that it can complete an orbit 2.5 times the distance between our Earth and the moon in just half an hour.
The Black Hole Era is defined as "40 < n < 100". In this era, according to the book, organized matter will remain only in the form of black holes. Black holes themselves slowly "evaporate" away the matter contained in them, by the quantum mechanical process of Hawking radiation. By the end of this era, only extremely low-energy photons ...
By: Patrick Jones. A 30-year-long question about black holes has finally been resolved. Apparently, black holes twist space time like taffy. This finding is based off a principle put forward by ...
1972 — Jacob Bekenstein suggests that black holes have an entropy proportional to their surface area due to information loss effects; 1974 — Stephen Hawking applies quantum field theory to black hole spacetimes and shows that black holes will radiate particles with a black-body spectrum which can cause black hole evaporation
