A team of astronomers has found what it says is the best evidence yet for an elusive class of black hole.

They say the presumed "intermediate-mass" black hole betrayed its existence by tearing apart a wayward star that ventured too close.

These medium-sized objects are a long-sought "missing link" in the evolution of the cosmos.
