Astronomers using images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) discovered what they believed to be the first examples of "isolated stellar-mass black holes adrift among the stars of our galaxy." They announced their discovery at a convention of the American Astronomical Society. The findings supported a long-standing theory that black holes could form with the collapse of just one massive star, although an opposing theory had concluded that multiple stars must collapse in tandem. Moreover, the researchers' contribution was the latest in a string of recent findings illuminating the relatively commonplace nature of black holes.
