Astronomers have spotted a rare "'missing link"' black hole, and it's lurking right in the center of our galaxy. The IRS 13 star cluster has long been a puzzle for astronomers. Located just a tenth of ...

Astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope to find evidence of an elusive kind of black hole, one that's about 8,000 times more massive than our sun. What makes this black hole special is its ...
