Space Sparks Episode 1
In this Space Sparks episode, ESA/Hubble summarizes an exciting new discovery from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
Scientists were expecting to find an intermediate-mass black hole at the heart of the globular cluster NGC 6397, but instead they found evidence of a concentration of smaller black holes lurking there. New data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have led to the first measurement of the extent of a collection of black holes in a core-collapsed globular cluster.
