Scientists may have discovered a special black hole with the help of the Hubble space telescope.
Astronomers had long been looking for evidence of its existence.
–
This specimen may be a special black hole. It is 740 million light years from Earth and has 50,000 times the mass of our sun.
–
With its mass, it is a so-called black hole of medium mass (IMBH – Intermediate Mass Black Hole). So far, science has only known significantly larger or smaller specimens.
–
IMBHs are particularly difficult to spot because they are smaller and less active than supermassive black holes. Science became aware of the IMBH when a strong flare of X-rays was discovered in 2006.
