This ain't good.... British astronomers, using Nasa's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) satellite observatório orbiting the Earth, have discovered five new ‘supermassive' black holes
Evidence from NASA's Chandra X-ray observatório and the Magellan telescopes suggest a estrela has been torn apart por an intermediate-mass black hole in a globular cluster.
The Wikipedia entry on magnetospheric eternally collapsing objects, the theoretical alternative to black holes. A concise, fairly readable overview of the concept.
Recent evidence of quasars contradicts popular theory of black holes in favor of MECOs (Magnetospheric Eternally Collapsing Objects), as black holes cannot have magnetic fields. This artigo from New Scientist gives a summary.
