Exploring the hidden black holes at the centre of our galaxy

Press/Media

Description

The article discusses evidence for a large population of previously undetected black holes near the centre of the Milky Way. Using X-ray observations, astronomers have identified signs of these faint objects, supporting theoretical predictions about their abundance. This discovery helps improve our understanding of galactic structure and the behaviour of matter around black holes.
