Observations with the big telescopes at California's Palomar and Arizona's Kitt Peak National observatories strongly support the likelihood that at least one such heavyweight exists in M87, a galaxy that appears to be spewing out a great jet of matter. Astronomers found that M87's center is ten times as bright as the rest of the galaxy, and is surrounded by stars orbiting...

So far no one has been able to accomplish that feat. But investigators in the U.S. and abroad are hoping to succeed with a new generation of extremely sensitive gravity detectors that rely on lasers, devices using superchilled metals and other advanced gadgetry...
