　　TWO teams of astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope and other instruments have found evidence(證據(jù))of a type of black hole that has never been seen before.

　　Roeland Van Der Marel of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore said last week his group has confirmed(證實(shí)) the existence of a midsized black hole in a cluster (group) of stars called M15, about 32,000 light years away.

　　Yan Der Marel said the black hole has about 4,000 times the mass of the sun, which makes it the smallest galactic(銀河的)black hole ever found.

　　Another group, led by Michael Rich of the University of California, Los Angeles, looked into a cluster of stars called GI and found a black hole that has about. 20,000 times the mass of the sun. It is some 2.2 million light years away.

　　Using the motion of stars within the clusters, the astronomers could determine the mass of the star groups and of the black holes. They found that the ratio(rate) of the mass of black holes to the mass of globular (球狀的) clusters (smaller than a galaxy ) was precisely (精確地) the same as the ratio between supermassive (超質(zhì)地的) black holes and galaxies. This suggests a neat, uniform(一致的) universal truth that applies the same mass ratio to black holes of all sizes everywhere, explains Karl Gebhardt of the University of Texas, a member of the G1 team.

　　The new discovery may help astronomers answer a basic question: Which came first. galaxies or black holes? Both theories have been proposed and finding intermediatesized(中等規(guī)模的) black holes may help answer that question.
