New Family of Black Holes Found
RobertFisher writes "NASA has just released a press release about an important new family of black holes. From the release, "The previously undiscovered black holes provide an important link that sheds light on the way black holes grow. Even more odd, these new black holes were found in the cores of glittering, 'beehive' swarms of stars -- called globular star clusters -- that orbit our Milky Way and other galaxies." Amazingly, these black holes have a mass proportional to their host cluster, a trend also observed in supermassive black holes ten thousand times more massive. Nature is giving us some big clues here."

The light was then promptly swallowed into oblivion, leaving the researchers no bewildered and rather annoyed.
