XJ141752 X-ray Telescopes Find Evidence for....kmz (1.09 KB)
A "wandering" black hole has been found in the outer regions of a galaxy about 4.5 billion light years from Earth.
Evidence suggests this newly discovered black hole has about 100,000 times the Sun's mass, and was originally located in a smaller galaxy that merged with a larger one.
Chandra data show this object gave off a tremendous amount of X-rays, which classifies it as a "hyperluminous X-ray source".
The burst of X-rays may have come from a star that was torn apart by the strong gravity of the black hole.
