RE: One Of The Smallest Black Holes Is One Of The Nearest To Earth

I didn't know black holes could be so small at 3 solar masses. I always though they are large masses that collapsed on itself with the intense gravity. I wonder how these smaller ones form? Also how do they detect it? is it by the effect it has on other stars nearby right?

Well, neither do the scientists know as that's the problem with it. It doesn't fit our current theories about black holes.
And yes, it was detected thanks to its effect on its stellar partner.
