Astronomers Detect Potential 'Missing Link' Black Hole in Omega Centauri
Hubble Space Telescope's observations suggest an intermediate-mass black hole may be influencing the motion of seven fast-moving stars in the Milky Way's largest globular cluster.
- Researchers used over 500 Hubble images to track 1.4 million stars in Omega Centauri.
- Seven stars were found moving at speeds that suggest the presence of a massive gravitational force.
- The suspected black hole could be at least 8,200 times the mass of the sun.
- Intermediate-mass black holes are rare and difficult to confirm, making this discovery significant.
- Further observations with the James Webb Space Telescope are planned to verify the findings.
