Astronomers from Japan discovered in the central part of the Milky Way strange movements of gas clouds. This situation may talk about the presence of unusual types in those areas of the galaxy black holes.
Researchers have discovered that these gas clouds are spinning. around an invisible object that is 10 thousand times larger in mass Of the sun. One cloud consists of three parts, one of which is rather total revolves around a black hole.
Since the accumulation of gas has an annular shape with incredible steep gradient of speed, this may indicate the presence of no one invisible cosmic body. If it’s really a black hole, then its gravitational radius is slightly larger than Neptune or Uranus. An object discovered by Japanese astronomers in the center of the Milky Way, is the fifth black hole candidate.
Scientists classify such objects as medium-sized black holes, whose existence has not yet been proven. However recently more evidence speaks in favor of this theory. These objects are an intermediate type between stellar mass black holes (up to 62 solar masses) and supermassive objects (up to 100 thousand masses Suns).
Researchers believe that with more advanced methods detection of black holes of medium weight, they can be much more in our galaxy.
