A supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) may be the source of nine stars zooming through our galaxy – a surprising hint that dwarf galaxies can host large black holes.

300 of these elusive black holes were recently observed by NSF NOIRLab’s DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument). While some are the active galactic nuclei of dwarf galaxies, most are ...
