📍 Aftermath

NASA's Hubble and other space telescopes discovered a missing black hole within the Omega Centauri star cluster. This finding represented the first of approximately 10,000 expected black holes in the cluster.

Epilogue added 46d ago, after coverage quieted.

The story so far

NASA telescopes have detected a tiny stellar black hole hidden inside the ancient Omega Centauri star cluster. This discovery marks the first instance of a missing black hole being found within this specific cluster.

Coverage from NASA, ESA/Hubble, Space, and Mashable emphasizes the scale of the discovery, noting that while one has been found, approximately 10,000 are still expected. KSL News reports that U.S. astronomers harnessed NASA telescopes to achieve the find.

Future attention will likely focus on the remaining 10,000 missing black holes expected to exist in the Omega Centauri cluster.
