The Closest Black Holes to Earth are Probably Hidden in This Nearby Star Cluster
The Hyades cluster is the closest open star cluster to Earth, located at a distance of about 150 light-years. Although black holes haven't been directly seen in the cluster, it's an excellent place to search for them because the largest stars would have detonated as supernovae and collapsed in neutron stars and black holes. Astronomers have simulated the motions of stars in the cluster with black holes lurking around and then compared them to the motions of the actual stars. They only matched with the presence of black holes near the center of the cluster.

"We don’t fully understand if the material observed in radio waves is coming from the accretion disk or if it is being stored somewhere closer to the black hole. #BlackHoles are definitely messy eaters, though."

The maximum possible recoil velocity for colliding black holes exceeds 102 million kmh (63 million mph) - about 1/10 the speed of light.

A little light reading...lol.
Love watching https://www.youtube.com/@DrBecky on YouTube so had to grab a copy of her book to add to my copy of astrophysics/physics books.

So this is fascinating, that there are less supermassive black holes than we originally thought. Another mystery to solve - with science!
