In ESO 243-49, an intermediate-mass black hole, weighing 20,000 Suns, resides above the galactic plane, likely from a cannibalized dwarf galaxy, with a cluster of hot young stars nearby.

"That's why HEO focuses on high-frequency Non-Earth Imaging. Our technology is built for speed, scale, and adaptability, operating across multiple orbits with diverse satellite providers to deliver more coverage, more data, and faster insights into thousands of satellites."

This could indicate a need for a revision of our current best model of the universe, referred to as the Lambda-CDM model.
But the new analysis reinforces that the Lambda-CDM model remains a good description of what we see around us.
Previously, studies using different techniques had suggested there might be cracks in our understanding of these laws. In particular, there were hints that universe may have had more structure in the past compared to the model prediction from data today.
