Big black holes aren't known for budging, which is why the new finding is so unusual.
In a galaxy, not so far away, two elusive intermediate black holes may have been spotted by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.
Black holes get a bad rap, and often its deserved, especially when the supermassive behemoth at the center of your galaxy is blowing away all the star-forming fuel.
A cooling neutron star has been probed in the hope of understanding its interior. However, using data from the Chandra X-ray Telescope, researchers have returned more questions than answers.
