The mystery surrounding the whereabouts of a supermassive black hole has deepened, researchers say.
Despite searching with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have no evidence that a distant black hole estimated to weigh between 3 billion and 100 billion times the mass of the sun is anywhere to be found.
This missing black hole should be in the enormous galaxy in the center of the galaxy cluster Abell 2261, which is located about 2.7 billion light-years from Earth.
Nearly every large galaxy in the universe contains a supermassive black hole in their center, with a mass that is millions or billions of times that of the sun.

The Truth About The Mother Of The Hubble Telescope
By Daniel Leonard/Dec. 23, 2020 10:10 am EDT/Updated: March 17, 2021 11:40 pm EDT
You re no doubt familiar with the Hubble Space Telescope. According to NASA, the Hubble telescope was first launched in 1990, and has enabled humanity to acquire some of our most high-precision images of outer space. The Hubble is huge 43.5 feet long to be precise, or about the size of a school bus. Since 1990, the Hubble has made over 1.3 million observations and has been referenced in over 15,000 published papers, making it one of the most productive scientific instruments ever built.
These are awesome statistics, but probably not super surprising; the Hubble telescope is widely admired and celebrated. But what do you know about the history of the Hubble s creation? Unless you re a true space nerd, there s a good chance you ve never even heard of Nancy Grace Roman the Mother of the Hubble telescope.
