At the center of the Omega Centauri cluster, a handful of stars are moving so quickly they should break free from the cluster's gravity, but they are caught by an unseen mass, likely a unique black hole.
The suspected black hole is neither supermassive like those in galaxies nor a remnant of a collapsed star, presenting a potential missing link in black hole evolution.
Using Hubble Space Telescope data, researchers observed stars in Omega Centauri moving exceptionally fast, indicating a hidden mass affecting their trajectories within the cluster.
