There is a solitary black hole wandering near the center of our galaxy, astronomers confirm

Invisible Dark: Lone black holes passing through the galaxy should be a pretty common occurrence in the Milky Way, but they are notoriously hard to spot. According to recently published research, we have now confirmed the existence of the first-ever lone black hole. And it's essentially in our neighborhood. A team of US astronomers led by Kailash Sahu said they have finally discovered the first isolated stellar-mass black hole traveling through space by itself. The researchers initially spotted this dark object in 2022, in the Sagittarius constellation, but their claim was disputed by a different team. However, the two groups are now in agreement: this particular black spot in the vastness of space really is a black hole. Supermassive black holes are traditionally located at the center of large galaxies, like the well-known Sagittarius A* lying at the center of the Milky Way. Potential candidates for "wandering" supermassive black holes, moving through space after being ejected from ... Read full article.
