Spotted Rare Kind of Black Hole in The Milky Way

Black hole is a region of space-time exhibiting such a strong gravitational effect not even nothing, not even particles and electromagnetic radiation.  According to the scientists, they have spotted a rare Jupiter size black hole casually strolling through the Milky Way.

New research tracking a celestial cloud structure saw strange behavior that may have been caused by just such an invisible object.

When the scientists check the ALMA data for the first time, they were really excited because the gas showed obvious orbital motions, which strongly suggest an invisible massive object lurking, said by lead author Shunya Takekawa, a physicist at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.

Takekawa and his colleagues using ALMA for cloud gas which they nicknamed as Balloon and stream for their shape, during a two day period in May 2018. During that time, they have witnessed the gas moving strangely, seeming to spin around the centre.

That movement allowed them to calculate 30,000 times the mass of our sun was packed into an object size of Jupiter at the centre of the movement. Those characteristics combined with the lack of light coming from the location.

Scientists thinks that tiny black hole and massive black hole are same, but aren’t there are many tiny black holes.

Astronomer believed they’ve spotted two other black holes in the size range near the Milky Way. If future observation continues to see evidence for them, may by escapees form the black hole at the galaxy centre.
