So far, only about ten intermediate-mass black holes have been discovered in the entire universe. The newly identified black hole causes surrounding stars in a cluster to move in an unexpectedly orderly way.
While researching a cluster of stars in the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black hole SgrA* (Sagittarius A*) at the center of our galaxy, an international team of researchers led by PD Dr. Florian Peißker has found signs of another…

Boasting a canal, ponds, cast-iron bridges, a tunnel and an old pump house, Bumble Hole and Warren's Hall offer an idyllic day out for walking and exploring
This week: Physicists conducted a biological study, engineers built a waste-recycling suit for astronauts (and worm riders), and astronomers identified the first known intermediate-mass black hole, and it's right here in our own galactic…
