New research may have delivered bad news for scientists who thought they had discovered a "missing link" black hole in a dense Milky Way star cluster. "The hunt for elusive intermediate-mass black ...
Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. As supermassive black holes go, it is fairly quiet. It’s not creating any galaxy-wide tantrums that should worry us.
After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.
