That would be exciting indeed, but how could a solar system be a solar system if it had a black-hole in it's midst? How would planets and bodies in the limits of the solar system be dependent from the star? It wouldn't be a solar system, innit? Unless they're announcing it's not a solar system, which would pretty much bamboozle the hell out of everything it's known so far. I'm more prone to believe it's something about Pluto and the limits of the solar system itself. NASA was pretty pissed about the fact that ESA announced Pluto was not a real planet, but a large sun-dependant asteroid given it's size.
On the other hand, having found "something" that could explain why the known orbits suffer gravitational deviations and are not circumferential, but an ellipse - that could be something. Still, it's pretty inconceivable it's a black-hole. No spaceship trajectory (to Mars or Saturn) in the solar system could ever have been calculated if there was such an unknown gravitational-pull as such that comes from a black-hole (or that which is by definition the pull from an unknown black-hole).
- A black hole at the center of the GALAXY, not the SOLAR SYTEM. If it was in the Solar System we'd be dead a loooong time agoTheBlueOne
