HR 6819, known less commonly[9] as HD 167128[8] or QV Telescopii,[10] is a triple star system in the southern constellation of Telescopium, near the southern constellation boundary with Pavo. QV Tel is the variable star designation.[11] The system appears as a variable star that is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude that ranges from 5.31 down to 5.38.[3] It is 1,120 light years from the Sun,[1] and is drifting farther away at a rate of 15 km/s.[2] A May 2020 study reported it to contain a black hole, making it the closest known black hole, and the first one located in a stellar system visible to the naked eye.[6]
