Astronomers from the University of Utah and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy have discovered a central black hole in Omega Centauri, a dense star cluster in the Milky Way. This finding, published in “Nature,” reveals the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole, a type previously undetected. Anil Seth, co-principal investigator, described the discovery as a “once-in-a-career” event. Omega Centauri, visible as a small speck from southern latitudes, has been a subject of debate for nearly a decade, making this breakthrough significant in the field of astronomy.
