An Intermediate-mass black hole has been identified in heart of Omega Centauri, Milky Way’s most massive star cluster, providing support to age-old theory regarding galactic evolution.
Daksha would be an invaluable tool to study flares from the Sun, X-rays from certain pulsating neutron stars, gamma-ray lightnings in the Earth's atmosphere, and so on.
Findings were made after an observation period of nearly 15 years using 'cosmic clocks' called pulsars — rapidly spinning neutron stars that emit bursts of energy with a precise period.
The supermassive black hole pictured resides at the center of a relatively nearby galaxy called Messier 87, or M87, about 54 million light-years from Earth.
