Newly found black hole.

Galaxy ESO 243-49, about 300 million light-years away, is home to the newly found black hole called HLX-1

This is the first discovered intermediate mass black hole. It was discovered by accident and they have no clue how it has come to exist.

HLX-1 has been described as being discovered almost by accident, as the research team at the time was instead focused on its host spiral galaxy. Black holes are generally more likely to sit at the center of galaxies such as the one that is believed to exist at the center of our own Milky Way. But HLX-1 was found, uncharacteristically, out in the spiral. It came to notice only because it was spewing a lot of x-rays and radio flares.

Peekaboo, I see you. It's about 90000 times heavier than our sun or something like that.
