A team of astronomers from Ohio State University claim to have discovered an object that belongs to a previously missing class of black holes. They believe the object hints there is “another population” out there in space. The new class suggests there could be black holes smaller than those currently known in the universe.
Astronomy Professor from Ohio State university, Todd Thompson, said in a statement: “We're showing this hint that there is another population out there that we have yet to really probe in the search for black holes.

Scientists Just Found a 'Needle in the Haystack' Black Hole Once Hidden From View | Space
Researchers have discovered a strange black hole -star pair, a finding that could open our eyes to millions of new black holes that, until now, have been hidden in the cosmos.
For years, scientists have assumed that there are millions of black holes in our galaxy . However, researchers can often only spot black holes that are in binary pairs with stars in which the black hole orbits and siphons matter from the star. This is because, when black holes accrete matter from their partner star, they emit bright, easy-to-spot X-rays.
Scientists Say: Black hole | Science News for Students
Scientists shared this first-ever picture of a black hole in April 2019. They made this picture by combining images taken by a network of telescopes across the globe called the Event Horizon Telescope.

This is a spot in space that has a powerful gravitational pull. A black hole's gravity is so strong that not even light can escape.
Scientists first picked up hints about black holes in the late 1700s. But no one had actually seen one until recently. Because light can't leave a black hole, it's not possible to see one with a regular telescope. But many black holes are surrounded by a swirling ring of gas and other material. This ring, called an accretion disk, heats up and emits light. Scientists can study that light to learn about black holes.
Black hole news: What happens inside a black hole?
The calculator shows, for example, the energy generated by a collision between an Earth-sized object and a black hole and the Milky Way’s mammoth Sagittarius A* would be 32,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 mega joules.

Fortnite’s black hole stunt is the kind of alpha energy we’re here for –
As you are likely already aware, Epic Games is pulling a massive PR stunt that has shrunk the world’s most popular game down to a single black hole .

This has been going on for nearly 24 hours now. I’d say there’s less than 1% possibility that this is actually the end of the game.
No numbers have been released recently, but at one point last summer, The Verge reported that the game was making $300 million/month.
Physics - Focus: Black Hole Assembly Line
Gravitational waves detected from some mergers of black holes suggest that the objects may be too massive to have formed directly from dead stars. Astrophysicists have proposed several scenarios by which multiple black holes might merge in a sequential fashion to produce larger black holes. Now researchers have shown using simulations that one of these scenarios, thought to occur in the centers of certain galaxies, should readily produce black hole mergers as large as those observed.
Black hole breakthrough: Stephen Hawking's 'most unexpected discovery' revealed | Science | News
In 2010, Hawking wrote his own Discovery Channel series, “Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking,” where the scientist was voiced by actor Benedict Cumberbatch.
During the programme, he attempted to explain to viewers how a black hole is formed in the cosmos.
He said: “It’s hard to imagine just how dense a black hole would be, but I’ll try and put it into perspective using something familiar – the Earth.
Black hole news: Standing on edge of black hole would cause 700 years to pass in 1 minute |
Space and time are intertwined, called space-time, and gravity has the ability to stretch space-time. Objects with a large mass will be able to stretch space-time to the point where our perception of it changes, known as time dilation.
Sagittarius A* has a radius of 22 million kilometres and a mass of more than four million times that of the Sun.

And because it is so heavy, it has the ability to completely stretch out space-time to a point where one minute on the edge of Sagittarius A* will see 700 years pass on Earth.
