An exciting discovery has been made about a group of stars near the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. This group of stars is called IRS 13. Researchers found that this group might contain an intermediate-mass black hole, which is a black hole that's not too big and not too small.

Using special telescopes, scientists observed IRS 13 and noticed that the stars in this group move in a way that suggests there could be a black hole in the middle, pulling everything towards it. They think this black hole is about 30,000 times the mass of our Sun!

IRS 13 is very close to the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, known as Sagittarius A* (or Sgr A* for short). But IRS 13 is special because it seems to have its own smaller black hole. The team used computer simulations to see how this could happen. They found that the stars in IRS 13 could have been formed somewhere else and then moved to where they are now.

This discovery helps us understand more about how stars and black holes form and move around in space. It's like solving a cosmic puzzle! Researchers are excited to use even more powerful telescopes in the future to learn more about this mysterious group of stars and its black hole.

This research is important because it helps us learn more about the universe and how everything in it works together. Who knows what other amazing discoveries we will make next?
