List of nearest black holes


This list contains black holes relatively near the Solar System. To make it easier to compare distances, our nearest star aside from the SunProxima Centauriis about away and our Milky Way galaxy is approximately in diameter.
Most black holes are thought to be solitary and not in a binary system. However, it is nearly impossible to detect such a black hole aside from measuring its gravitational distortions on the light from visually nearby objects. Black holes in binary systems, despite constituting a minority of all black holes, are much easier to detect.
