Astronomers find black hole in Sagittarius constellation

An international team of astronomers led The University of Manchester have found evidence of a new 'missing-link' black hole in the Milky Way galaxy, hidden in the Sagittarius constellation. The black hole is located approximately 26,000 light years, or 7.9 Kiloparsecs (kpc), from Earth in a globular cluster called, NGC 6624. A globular cluster is a gravitationally bound swarm of millions of old stars occupying regions that are just a few light years across.

Either the Sagittarius constellation was formerly only the most plausible candidate for the location of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) or I'm experiencing the Mandela Effect.  In any case, after scientists' monitoring a pulsar* for over a quarter of a century, they now believe it "most likely [to be] orbiting around an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) located at the cluster's centre."  The main differences' being the size of the black hole and experts' certainty of its being orbited by *PSR B1820 30A.
