Researchers determined that the black hole V404 Cygni (Nova Cygni 1989, GS 2023+338) is the closest at approximately 7,800 light-years (or 2400 parsecs) from Earth, in the constellation Cygnus. It is measured to have a diameter of roughly 37-56 miles (60-90 km) and is 10 to 15 times the mass of Earth's Sun.
