Astronomers Confirm First 'Lone' Black Hole Discovery - and It's in the Milky Way

For the first time, astronomers have confirmed the existence of a lone black hole," reports Science News - "one with no star orbiting it." It's "the only one so far," says Kailash Sahu, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. In 2022, Sahu and his colleagues discovered the dark object coursing through the constellation Sagittarius. A second team disputed the claim, saying the body might instead be a neutron star. New…
