Milky Way core may have thousands of black holes
What has happened?
Astrophysicists have detected a dozen black holes around Sagittarius A (the black hole at the center of the milky way), at the centre of the Milky Way galaxy. They say that there could be as many as 10,000 black holes there
Significance
The finding provides the first evidence for a long-held theory that the massive black hole at the core of every large galaxy should be surrounded by thousands of smaller ones
