Researchers from the University of Birmingham have led an international team of astronomers to discover evidence for the existence of a ‘garden variety’ black hole in the 12 million light year-distant galaxy Centaurus A. This is the first time that a stellar-mass black hole with a normal rate of accretion has been detected away from the immediate vicinity of our own Galaxy.
