A New Black Hole Found Outside the Milky Way Galaxy

The depths of the universe for humanity mysterious remains a place. Discovered stars, galaxies, planets, and more, perhaps contain very little of what’s waiting to be discovered. It is very difficult to fully uncover this mystery, but various discoveries are made with the same enthusiasm. in the past months in the Milky Way galaxy More than 100 black holes have been discovered at a distance of 80 thousand light years from Earth, and it has been stated that these black holes will capture the star clusters they live in within a billion years.

Scientists are now just outside the Milky Way galaxy a black hole lurking they found it. This black hole was discovered by looking at the way it affects the motion of a nearby star. Saying that this discovered black hole is only one of the black holes waiting to be discovered, scientists said that other hidden black holes can be found with the same technique.

“We discover black holes with the Sherlock Holmes technique”

Sara Saracino, who is working at the Astrophysics Research Institute at Liverpool John Moores University and conducting the study, explained the methods of finding the black hole. to Sherlock Holmes by analogy,Just as Sherlock Holmes catches a criminal gang following their missteps, we look at each star in this cluster with a magnifying glass in one hand, trying to find some evidence of the existence of black holes, even if we cannot see them directly. The result shown here represents just one of the wanted criminals, but once you find one, you’re well on your way to discovering others in different clusters.” said.

The black hole’s clue to Sherlock Holmes is that a nearby star is 5 times the size of our Sun. as if affecting your movement was to appear. Stefan Dreizler, a member of the team from the University of Göttingen in Germany, said:The vast majority of black holes can only be discovered dynamically. When they form a system with a star, they affect the star’s motion in an inconspicuous but detectable way. So we can find them with advanced devices” he stated.
