BANGALORE: Ever since there have been new stories about the mysterious objects in the universe. This time it’s about the middling-sized black hole. An Indian-origin, Dheeraj Pasham studying at University of Maryland Astronomy has discovered and measured the rare black-hole.

According to his research made with two colleagues, he founded the hidden specifications in galaxy M82 that is some 12 million light years away from the earth. The research is published online in the journal Nature on 17 August 2014.

The facts encoded by him are considered worth because universe is considered to have uncountable black holes; it’s very difficult to measure them. Milky Way alone is expected to have around 100 million of black holes. The black holes fall into two category namely- big and colossal.

It’s surprising to note that the big ones are about 10-100 times the mass of the sun. On the other hand, the colossal or super massive black holes are shockingly million times the mass of the sun.
