Tiny galaxy, big find: Black hole discovered in nearby Segue 1
Small and unassuming, Segue 1 is a nearby dwarf galaxy containing only a handful of stars—too few to provide the gravity needed to keep itself from scattering into space. Like other dwarf galaxies, it was long believed that gravity from a mysterious substance called dark matter was the main binding force.
Small and unpretentious, Segue 1 is a nearby dwarf galaxy containing only a handful of stars, too little to provide the gravity necessary to prevent itself from dispersing into space.

Tiny Galaxy, Big Find: Black Hole Discovered in Nearby Segue 1
Small and unassuming, Segue 1 is a nearby dwarf galaxy containing only a handful of stars – too few to provide the gravity needed to keep itself from scattering into space. Like other dwarf galaxies, it was long believed that gravity from a mysterious substance called dark matter was the main binding force. However, new research from The University of Texas at Austin and The University of Texas at San Antonio upends this assumption – challenging…
