New research suggests there is a cluster of stellar-mass black holes in Omega Centauri , a dense Milky Way star cluster.

Last year , astronomers thought they had found a "missing link" black hole in the center of Omega Centauri .

The new findings imply that the black hole is less than 6,000 times the mass of the sun.

The team's research could help astronomers better understand the mechanisms that birth pulsars.

It is only a matter of time before astronomers start turning up intermediete-mass black holes.

The research has been accepted for publication in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics .
