This discovery displays new findings from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope that may exhibit  the existence of a black hole in our galaxy,  which was accomplished through a basic principle called achromatic microlensing, which is certainly not difficult to explain but yes it is a difficult process to detect in deep space.Scientists have estimation that there may be thousands of black holes floating in space.

Scientist appealed to maintain little patience:

The mass of the void is believed to be 5,000 light-years away in the Carina-Sagittarius spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Scientists have now asked everyone to abstain from any kind of haste and have assured that in the last six years of research, it has been found that this is a close black hole, which is only about 80 light years away.

Berkeley team (University of California), also claims neutron star burst:

The other team, led by Casey Lam of the University of California-Berkeley, thinks it could be either a black hole or a neutron star bursting. Lam further added that whatever it is, the object is the first dark stellar remnant with no other star to be discovered moving through the Milky Way. Let us tell you that  Sahu conducted two teams & his team elaborated through Hubble's observations to identify a possible black hole, Sahu's team was quite confident that  the object is definitely a black hole.

Achievement achieved through astrometric microlensing principle:

Describing the process of passing between Earth and a star through a fish-eye lens distorting the image, NASA states that a black hole is probably found when telescopes on Earth observe stars which appear brighter, dim or temporarily visible.

Scientists estimate that there may be thousands of black holes floating in space. Based on research analysis by teams of scientists, it has been discovered that, over the past six years, Hubble has used telescopes on Earth to dig further into these achromatic microlensing observations of a lone black hole flowing through the universe, in which NASA has achieved  first evidence. 

Signs of new insight into the population of these objects in the Milky Way:

As we understood, this discovery could prove to be a first for scientists and a milestone for Hubble, and in a NASA press release about this discovery, Mr. Sahu said that the detection of isolated black holes will give new insights into the population of these objects in our Milky Way, which will prove to be quite  beneficial in understanding many related things.
