The nearest known black hole to Earth is called Gaia BH1, located approximately 1,560 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. It's a stellar-mass black hole, meaning it's formed from the collapse of a massive star. This black hole is considered dormant because it's not actively consuming matter and emitting X-rays like some other black holes

I came up with 26 miles so I guess you are in the ballpark. I used .1mm paper though.
