“They’re so cute when they’re babies.” How many times have you heard someone say that and thought, “What until that grizzly cub grows up.” The only thing cuter than one grizzly cub is a whole bunch of them rolling around and playing. The same goes for baby lions, alligators and probably even sharks. What about baby black holes? Well, you can finally judge baby black hole cuteness for yourself – using the Hubble Space Telescope and the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft, NAS...

Astronomers Find A Star Cluster Filled With Numerous Small Black Holes Though most star clusters have a black hole at the center of their systems, astronomers were surprised to see a new cluster that actually had several small black holes in the middle rather than one large example of the mysterious space phenomenon. According to Space.com, researchers came across the discovery after studying the movement of stars in the NGC 6397 using NASAs Hubble Telescope and the European Space Agencys ...

NASA has revealed that its Hubble telescope has uncovered a concentration of small black holes at the heart of the globular cluster NGC 639.

Washington, Feb 12 (IANS) In an unexpected finding, astronomers have discovered a concentration of smaller black holes, instead of one massive black hole, lurking at the heart of the globular cluster NGC 6397.

They are much more compact and littered with stars, and tend to be much older than galaxies. The globular cluster NASA focused on was 7,800 light-years away and known as NGC 6397, which is "almost as old as the Universe itself". When looking at the cluster, NASA researchers believed there was an intermediate-mass black hole, which are long thought of as the "missing link" between supermassive black holes and stellar black holes.
