Black Hole Found Inside Globular Cluster

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-so-creamy-centers dept.

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."

    How many black hole discoveries do we need to announce before they no longer become news? Are the previous announcements falling into the gravity well of a collapsed star or something?
