Astronomers Confirm Wandering Black Hole in Nearby Dwarf Galaxy

A team led by Yuanqi Liu found that 62% of active galactic nuclei in dwarf galaxies may be offset from centers, reshaping black hole growth theories.

Summary by Phys.org
Traditionally, black holes are usually thought to "reside" at the centers of galaxies. However, a research team led by Dr. An Tao from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a wandering black hole in a dwarf galaxy located about 230 million light-years away (redshift z = 0.017).
