Dormant Black Hole Found Wandering | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Astronomers just spotted a supermassive black hole drifting thirty thousand light-years from its galaxy’s core — invisible until it violently devoured a star, blasting out light that AI finally caught. This is the first time such a “wandering” black hole has been seen so far out, challenging the old belief that these cosmic giants always hang in galactic centers. Using existing sky surveys and machine learning, scientists now expect to find dozens of these hidden beasts every year — revolutionizing how we explore the universe’s most elusive objects.
