A dwarf galaxy that appears to harbor a supermassive black hole far bigger than expected may have had most of its stars stolen from it by the Milky Way, scientists have proposed.

But the Milky Way’s black hole, Sagittarius A*, is actually much smaller than the first and was more difficult to see, since it required peering through the hazy disk of our galaxy.

BH3 is largest stellar black hole found in Milky Way As its name suggests, BH3 is not the first of its kind to be discovered. The European Space Agency announced the discovery about a year ago of ...
