How many light years is the black hole cygnus?

The famously first-observed black hole in Cygnus known as Cygnus X-1 is about 6,070 light years distant.


Who is the first man in the black hole?

Nobody has ever visited a black hole. The nearest known black hole is many light years away. Much to far away for us to reach it.


If you live on earth how far are you from the black hole?

There is not "a" black hole, but many of them. The nearest known black hole is at a distance of several thousand light-years, but it is likely that there are others closer by: only black holes that are very near of a partner (in a binary system) are easily found.There is not "a" black hole, but many of them.

How far away from earth is the black hole?

There are many black holes in the universe .Scientists believe that there might be a black hole in the centre of our Milky Way galaxy which is about 25,000 light years from earth, and that that is why it rotates about its axis.


How do scientists get close enough to research a black hole?

Since the nearest black hole is many light years away from Earth, it's impossible for a scientist to physically travel to a black hole to study it. Instead, they have to make do with observing the effects of black holes from Earth.


How many rockets been sucked in the black hole?

None. No rocket has ever gone anywhere near a black hole (seeing as how the nearest one is 1600 light years away).


Have there been deaths caused by a black hole?

No. The nearest black holes to Earth are many light years away, much to far to affect us.


How many people know's that we're getting closer to a black hole?

This is nothing to worry about. There are other, much more immediate, dangers to mankind. The closest known black hole is at a distance of about 3000 light-years, and even if there were a black hole at a distance of the nearest star (ca. 4 light-years), it wouldn't be any more dangerous than the stars themselves.


Has NASA tried to go through the black hole?

No. There closest black holes are many light years away, much farther than anything we build can travel.


How many earth years would it take to get to a black hole?

The nearest known black hole is at a distance of 3000 light-years. Travelling at the speed of light, it would take 3000 years to get there. Since there is currently no technology to travel anywhere near the speed of light, it would take quite a lot longer to get there. Note that there may be black holes closer to us, that simply haven't been discovered yet.


Simular to a black hole with an exit?

Something similar to a black hole but with an exit would have to be a worm hole. worm holes are only science fiction (because they have not been proven to exist) although many people believe when entered they will transport you through many light years of space.


How many astronauts went inside the black hole?

For all scientific reasons, no astronaut had went inside a black hole. It would take many earth years to visit the black hole, so reaching a black hole is impossible.
