href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/hubble\/science\/universe-uncovered\/hubble-star-clusters\/#globular-clusters\" rel=\"noopener\">globular star cluster<\/a> Omega Centauri has puzzled astronomers for decades. It should be filled with black holes left behind by exploding stars, yet evidence for them is scarce. Now, astronomers using archival data from NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/hubble\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Hubble Space Telescope<\/a> and supportive observations from NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/webb\/\" rel=\"noopener\">James Webb Space Telescope<\/a> have finally located their first <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/universe\/black-holes\/types\/#stellar-mass\" rel=\"noopener\">stellar-mass black hole<\/a> in this cluster. Discovering the first of this missing black hole population will help refine current theories on black hole formation within environments such as Omega Centauri. The team\u2019s findings published Monday in <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3847\/2041-8213\/ae7a5c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Astrophysical Journal Letters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Omega Centauri is composed of 10 million gravitationally bound stars. Though the astronomical community previously found evidence with Hubble that an <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/missions\/hubble\/nasas-hubble-finds-strong-evidence-for-intermediate-mass-black-hole-in-omega-centauri\/\" rel=\"noopener\">intermediate-mass black hole<\/a> lurks at its center, models suggest this star cluster should also contain about 10,000 smaller, stellar-mass black holes. This notable population of black holes evaded detection in previous observational studies, which used the <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/universe\/glossary\/#radial-velocity\" rel=\"noopener\">radial velocity<\/a> method or looked for radio and X-ray emission from material falling onto black holes.<\/p>\n<p>This new discovery features a different approach, known as <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/resource\/astrometry\/\" rel=\"noopener\">astrometry<\/a>, to measure very small movements of stars over time. By sifting through more than 20 years of Hubble archival data and pulling in recent Webb data to further refine their astrometric measurements, the team located a star orbiting an invisible object so hefty that it has to be a black hole. Dubbed oMEGACat BH-2, it is the first stellar-mass black hole detected in Omega Centauri, and it has some surprising qualities. oMEGACat BH-2 has a lower-than-expected mass and, with its visible star companion, the black hole-star duo has the longest orbital period of any black hole binary system known to date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Hubble and Webb data, we were able to see the motion of the visible <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/universe\/stars\/types\/#main-sequence\" rel=\"noopener\">main sequence star<\/a> that is part of this binary, which is about 18,000 light-years away in the dense environment of Omega Centauri,\u201d said Matthew Whitaker of the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, lead author of the paper. \u201cThe precision of these measurements is incredible, down to a fraction of a pixel on Hubble and Webb\u2019s detectors. It would not have been possible to find this black hole without these two space telescopes.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-wide\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-none \"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/releases\/2026\/07\/STScI-01KW2HRNXWCFJ07B2CEN49KTFP.jpg?w=13719&#038;h=13719&#038;fit=clip&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"13719\" height=\"13719\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/releases\/2026\/07\/STScI-01KW2HRNXWCFJ07B2CEN49KTFP.jpg?w=13719&#038;h=13719&#038;fit=clip&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"A Hubble image of globular star cluster Omega Centauri, which looks like a dense field of stars.

By expanding Hubble data from the earlier investigation with archival Hubble astrometric measurements from 2002 to 2023, and pulling in Webb near-infrared data to improve precision, the University of Utah-led team was able to better constrain the mass of the visible star\u2019s dark companion, ruling out the neutron star possibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we already knew that the star was 0.78 solar masses, we can now calculate the black hole\u2019s mass, which is 4.46 solar masses and therefore too heavy to be a neutron star. However, its mass is much lower than would be expected in a metal-poor environment like Omega Centauri. This is surprising and exciting,\u201d said Anil Seth of the University of Utah, a coauthor of the study. \u201cWe now know that a metal-poor star is able to form a black hole like this, and we need to figure out how that happens. This detection is providing some data to those who do that kind of modeling.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Long time coming<\/h3>\n<p>Based on the precise data from Hubble and Webb, the team could chart the star\u2019s path over 20-plus years, during its closest approach to its black hole companion when it moved the fastest across the sky. From the extensive data, the team determined that the visible star orbits oMEGACat BH-2 once every 94 years, making it the longest-period black hole binary ever known.<\/p>\n<p>Its long orbital period also gives a clue to the origin of this binary system. It was probably dynamically formed, meaning the star and its black hole companion did not start out together but rather found each other in this cluster. The researchers calculated that a system like oMEGACat BH-2 will survive for less than a billion years before it is torn apart by encounters with nearby stars, a much shorter span than the age of the cluster (approximately 12 billion years old).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important to understand black hole populations in globular clusters because there\u2019s uncertainty about their physics and formation,\u201d said Seth. \u201cMore specifically, understanding the process of forming black holes and then dynamically forming binaries is vital, because it affects our ability to interpret and understand <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/hubble\/science\/science-behind-the-discoveries\/hubble-gravity-waves\/\" rel=\"noopener\">gravitational wave events<\/a>. Environments like Omega Centauri are the primary places where we think binaries are merging and creating these waves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s discovery of stellar-mass black hole oMEGACat BH-2 with the Hubble-Webb dataset is just the start of finding these evasive black hole populations in globular star clusters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Hubble and Webb, we can continue to look at Omega Centauri and expand our search for similar systems within other clusters,\u201d said Whitaker. \u201cWe\u2019re also very excited for the launch of NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/roman-space-telescope\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope<\/a> because it will image the crowded galactic bulge, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/universe\/glossary\/#galactic-center\" rel=\"noopener\">galactic center<\/a>, very regularly with Hubble-like resolution and with a much wider field of view. We\u2019re hoping we\u2019ll be able to find black hole binary systems like this one because of the regular cadence of Roman\u2019s observations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Hubble Space Telescope has been operating for over three decades and continues to make ground-breaking discoveries that shape our fundamental understanding of the universe.
