Black Hole Found Inside Globular Cluster
acidrain writes "Contrary to the prediction of some computer models, scientists have found a black hole resting peacefully in a dense nest of stars called a globular cluster. Previously discovered black holes are either similar in size to a large star, or super massive holes which are millions of times bigger than a star is able to remain stable. This finding indicates there may be an intermediate size range of holes residing within these star clusters."
Black holes will never go out of style until a space dog eats a fleet of space ships. That will be news for the next century.
The important question is, does this black hole have a warning label?

To hell with the space dog, I'm more concerned with the mutant space goat.
I discovered one between the buttcheeks of some guy called Goatse, but that doesn't make slashdot, now does it?
Actually there is just one; the rest were dupes. =)
