Scientists Find Evidence for the Origin of Mysterious 'Impossible' Black Holes

The Puzzle of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes For years, astronomers have known that the universe contains black holes that don't neatly fit into existing categories. Stellar-mass black holes form when massive stars collapse, while supermassive black holes lurk at the centers of galaxies and grow to enormous sizes. But
