No - In fact, the Chandra X-ray Observatory detected a jet of X-rays from a supermassive black hole 12.4 billion light years from Earth.
The nearest known black hole is at a distance of about 6000 light-years, but it is quite possible that there are black holes closer to us.
Most likely not. The chances of our solar system encountering a black hole even in the next few billion years is quite small.If there were a black hole on its way, though, we would not know about it.
Usually from the collapse of a massive star. It isn't quite clear how a supermassive black hole is created; it is possible that it also starts as a stellar black hole (a hole resulting from the collapse of a star), but it isn't quite clear how such a black hole can get so huge in a relatively short time.Usually from the collapse of a massive star.

The average travel distance from a black hole on Earth would depend on the distance to the nearest known black hole, which is typically thousands to millions of light years away. Traveling to a black hole would require advanced technology and is not currently feasible with our current understanding of physics.
Running into a black hole is practically impossible because the nearest black hole or soon-to-be-black hole is about like millions of light years away and black holes can only attract things from a few billion km away. You may think that's a lot but believe me, a million light years is way more than a billion km.
As of March 2008, the biggest black hole ever found is 10 billion times the size of our sun, and is located over 300 million light years away.
the centre of the milky way is believed to be a super massive black hole .the black hole, said to be 27000 light years from the earth, is 4 million times bigger than our sun .It is believed that almost every galaxy have a super massive black hole as its centre
In Jan 1987, John Cormedy of Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Canada discovers the balck hole in Galaxy Andromeda and estimated that the diameter of black hole in Andromeda Galaxy is 10 million times as massive as the Sun.
The supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way is at a distance of about 28,000 light-years. The nearest known stellar black hole is at a distance of about 3000 light-years.
The supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy , Sagittarius A*, weighs in at around 4.1 million solar masses.. which calculates to a radius of about 8 million miles. By comparison, Mercury gets as close as about 28 million miles to the Sun.
No. The nearest black hole is about 1,600 light years away.
Quite possibly. One thing is certain - you can't escape from a black hole.
