Recent research has announced new evidence to a new type of black holes called "Intermediate-Mass Black Hole" or IMBH. This black hole is finally scoring a long-awaited evidence to identify and solve its existence underlying mysteries.

Found in the darkest corners of the universe and hidden beyond a cluster of stars, IM Black Holes might actually lead to the discovery of the origin of life. Although further research is still required to arrive at a proper conclusion, these black holes can now serve as the missing link between stellar black holes and supermassive black holes, as noted in the study posted at Nature.

According to Ars Technica, Black Holes exists at any mass which means there is no limitation on how big or small they can be. The sources noted that these black holes have to undergo a natural process of creation outside of Earth. Intermediate-Mass Black Hole is the first of its kind in accordance to size to be confirmed by black holes researchers.

Intermediate-Mass Black Hole has a mass of a moderate 2,200 Suns which by far near the size of Stellar-Mass Black Holes which is the most common type of black holes. However, the measurement is taken into account the margin of error, since it could be up to 3,700 solar masses or have a lower 1,400 solar masses. On the other hand, IMBH is much smaller than Supermassive Black Holes which usually hold hundreds of thousands or even millions of solar masses.

Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics Chief Researcher Bulent Kizilta said that their team has long been aiming to find the intermediate-mass black hole because it is the most possible type to fill in the missing link between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. This means IMBH could be the primordial seeds that matured into the supersized giants visible in the centers of galaxies today.

The discovery of Intermediate-Mass Black Hole is an indication that we are nearing the discovery of the origin of life and its solar system.
