Our "cosmic neighbourhood" includes a local group of galaxies that spans tens of millions of light years. It's possible they're talking about a wandering black hole in our galaxy though. That was the big discovery this weekend I think.

NASA really really needs more government funding to look for things because if they don't get the money they won't find them and its all your fault.
