Stellar-mass black holes—which weigh about five to 100 times the mass of the sun—are much more common, with about 100 million in our Milky Way alone. Only a handful have been confirmed to date, however, and almost all of them are “active” — meaning they glow brightly in X-rays as they consume material from a nearby stellar companion, unlike dormant black holes that don’t....
