Astronomers at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge have found a tiny "super-massive" blackhole pulling in as much matter and radiating as many X-rays as its larger, lazier cousins.The newly discovered blackhole, located in the core of the galaxy NGC 4395, is part of an emerging class of mid-mass blackholes, a thousand times more massive than stellar black holes yet a million times smaller than the largest variety.
