Theory-Busting Black Hole
Black holes come in three sizes: Small, medium, and extra-large. Now you can add really-big-small to the list. A newfound stellar black hole — the type made by an exploded star and typically no more massive than a few suns — weighs in at 16 solar masses, more than theory said was possible. We love when theories get tossed out the cosmic window!
