SMALL GALAXY WITH BLACK HOLE FOUND
Astronomers,  led by an Indian origin scientist,  have discovered a monster black hole lurking inside one of the tiniest and densest galaxies ever known located 54 million light years from Earth.  Though the black hole is five times the mass of the black hole at the centre of our Milky way,  It is inside a galaxy that crams 140 million stars within a diameter of about 300 light-years,  only V500th of our galaxy’s diameter.  The dwarf galaxy containing the black hole,  called M60-UCD1,  is the densest galaxy ever seen If you lived inside of it,  the night sky would dazzle with a million stars as opposed to 4,000 stars in our night-time sky
