Paris (AFP) July 10, 2024
Astronomers said on Wednesday they have found the strongest evidence yet of a medium-sized black hole, the strange absence of which has been one of the enduring mysteries of the cosmos.
The universe is riddled with black holes, from supermassive ones at the heart of galaxies to smaller ones around 100 times the mass of the Sun.

An international team of astronomers has analyzed over 500 images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, spanning two decades, to identify seven rapidly moving stars in the core of Omega Centauri, the largest and brightest globular cluster visible in the sky. These stars offer significant evidence suggesting the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH).
