 This spectacular edge-on galaxy is believed to be the home of an intermediate-mass black hole that may have been stripped off of a cannibalized dwarf galaxy. The estimated 20,000 solar-mass black hole lies above the galactic plane. This is an unlikely place for such a massive black hole to exist unless it belonged to a small galaxy that was gravitationally torn apart by this one. The circle identifies a unique x-ray source that pinpoints the black hole.
