A group of researchers may have found evidence of a missing link black hole near the center of our galaxy.
Published Feb 17th, 2023 6:08PM ESTScientists have discovered signs of a missing link black hole near the center of the Milky Way. This discovery marks the finding of the fifth candidate for what astronomers call an intermediate black hole that has been found near our galactic center. The hope is that finding one of these supposed missing links would help astronomers better understand how supermassive black holes form.
