Finding the happy medium of black holes
(PHYSorg.com Space & Earth)

This image shows data from a massive observing campaign that includes NASA`s Chandra X-ray Observatory. These Chandra data have provided strong evidence for the existence of so-called intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). Combined with a separate study also using Chandra data, these results may allow astronomers to better understand how the very largest black holes in the early Universe formed, as described in our latest press release.
