Astronomers have long been puzzled by the lack of medium-sized black holes, known as intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). Now, the Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered compelling evidence of an IMBH within the Milky Way galaxy, located in the Omega Centauri star cluster. This discovery provides crucial insights into the evolution of black holes.
Astronomers have discovered a mid-sized black hole at the center of Omega Centauri, a star cluster in the Milky Way, providing crucial evidence for the existence of ‘intermediate-mass black holes’ (IMBHs). This discovery fills a significant gap in our understanding of black hole evolution and could shed light on the formation of supermassive black holes in the early universe.
