Either I can’t read, or they need an editor. In your excerpt the article contradicts itself at least twice.
“What makes the discovery even more unique is that it has been located in an ultracompact dwarf galaxy, stunning researchers.”
That’s cuz it prolly done ate up most of the stars already!
"The black hole mass is 3.5 million that of the Sun, similar to the central black hole in our own Milky Way."
UCDs are especially rare, as they are larger, brighter and more massive than other galaxies, including our own Milky Way.
What makes the find of the supermassive black hole at the center of the UCD so notable is that UCDs tend to be very small, with radiuses not exceeding 300 light years and an overall mass of several tens of millions of solar masses.
By comparison, the Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across, or a radius of 50,000 light years.
How can someone be so impossibly F'in stupid?
Is it big enough to swallow the accumulated evidence against HRClinton?
LOL. These astronomers are easily amused. They'd stroke out if they saw a real star, Blaze Starr, that is:
A massive Democrat convention in space! Was Jimmy Carter in attendance as well?
The hole ate the rest of the stars, and is working on what remains.
It would make for a heck of a quasar.
Just a reminder that events on a galactic scale are unimaginably large.
Apart from the error made by the reporter, black holes are amazing. They never show a sign of blowing up into a universe either.
“A supermassive black hole has been found at the center of a tiny galaxy, wowing researchers.
Obama’s last speaking engagement?
