Webb and Hubble Telescopes Identify Small Black Hole in Omega Centauri Cluster

Astronomers, utilizing data from the James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes, have successfully detected a stellar black hole within the dense Omega Centauri globular cluster. This black hole, estimated at 4.5 times the Sun's mass, was discovered by measuring its gravitational pull on a nearby star. The finding demonstrates the precision of modern astronomical techniques and offers new insights into how black holes form from metal-poor stars.
