Over 100 Black Holes Discovered in the Milky Way, Revealing Secrets of Star Clusters
Hidden deep within the Milky Way, a surprising discovery has been made: over 100 black holes tucked away in the Palomar 5 stellar stream. For years, scientists speculated about their existence, but it’s only now, thanks to the Gaia space observatory, that we’re uncovering their role in shaping our galaxy. This breakthrough, detailed in Nature Astronomy, provides new insights into how black holes form and influence their surroundings. The Mystery…
An apparently banal cluster of stars, scattered over a large part of the sky, would in reality conceal a large secret. Thanks to the data collected by the Gaia Space Telescope, astrophysicists have highlighted the presence of about a hundred black stellar mass holes in the heart of Palomar 5, a globular cluster located about ...

Astrophysicists have determined that over a hundred stellar-mass black holes may be hiding within the globular cluster Palomar 5, part of the Milky Way. Calculations suggest that their gravitational influence has shaped the object's distinctive morphology: an anomalously tenuous central core and a colossal stellar trail extending for tens of thousands of light-years. Palomar 5 is approximately 80... The post "About a Hundred Black Holes Discover…
