The bright, huge globular star cluster Omega Centauri may have a black hole within it, according to a study made using the Hubble Space Telescope.<\/p>

Astronomers looked at over 500 Hubble images of the globular cluster<\/a> and detected seven stars that are moving incredibly fast within the innermost region.<\/p>

These, say, the team, provide evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri<\/a>.<\/p>
