According to new research done with the Hubble Space Telescope, not all black holes are destructive monsters.
Scientists from Montana State University published an article in Nature this week that says a black hole at the center of a dwarf galaxy created a star formation.
The authors concluded that the black-hole outflow triggered the star formation.
According to NASA, the findings provided insight into a decade-old mystery about whether smaller galaxies had black holes proportional in size to larger ones.
Amy Reines, a researcher at the University of Virginia and one of the study's authors, told NASA that when she was a graduate student, she looked at the data from Henize 2-10 and realized she would spend her career on star formation. I knew from the beginning that something special was happening.
And Beyond...
She expects more research into black holes in the future. NASA says that none of the three leading theories about how black holes are created are more likely than the other two.
Where did they come from? The black hole seeding scenario that has been lost to time and space may still be remembered by dwarf galaxies.
It is poetic that a black hole that is unconventional may help scientists understand the most ancient of mysteries.
There are more unexpected holes.
