Astronomy students discovered that the tiny galaxy Segue 1, previously thought to be dominated by dark matter, actually hosts a supermassive black hole over 450,000 times the mass of the Sun, suggesting black holes may be more common in small galaxies than previously believed.
Astronomy students discovered that the tiny galaxy Segue 1, previously thought to be dominated by dark matter, actually hosts a supermassive black hole weighing over 450,000 suns, challenging existing theories about dwarf galaxies and black hole prevalence.
Scientists discovered an unexpectedly large black hole at the center of the tiny galaxy Segue 1, challenging previous beliefs that such small galaxies are primarily held together by dark matter. The black hole, about 450,000 times the mass of the sun, is more massive than all the galaxy's stars combined, prompting a reevaluation of galaxy formation and evolution theories.
Researchers have discovered a supermassive black hole at the center of the nearby dwarf galaxy Segue 1, challenging previous assumptions that dark matter was the main binding force in such galaxies, and suggesting a need to revise models of galaxy evolution.
