Показать описание
Astronomers have found evidence for a new bounty of black holes at the center of the Milky Way.

These are stellar-mass black holes that typically weigh between five to 30 times the mass of the Sun.

Researchers combed through data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to look for possible black holes in close orbit with a star.

They found about a dozen strong black hole candidates within a very short distance of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center.

This implies the presence of up to a thousand stellar-mass black holes that are also present, but were undetected.
