In what is turning out to be one of the best months ever for black-hole fanbois, a team of Dutch, Italian, and US space boffins has detected the "heartbeat" of what appears to be teensiest, weensiest black hole ever discovered.

It is three times as massive as Sun, which is theoretically a mass boundary for formation of a blackhole.
