INBOX ASTRONOMY NASA’s Roman Telescope Will Spot Distant Black Holes That Shred Stars Release date: Tuesday, July 14, 2026 10:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time Roman’s large tally will help illuminate the origins of supermassive black holes. Supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies can be messy eaters. Sometimes when a wandering star gets too close, it will get shredded before it is consumed. In the process, the region around the black hole brightens and may outshine its entire galaxy. In that way, o ...Continue Reading

INBOX ASTRONOMY NASA’s Hubble Discovers First of Star Cluster’s Missing Black Holes Release date: Monday, July 13, 2026 10:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time Call it the case of the missing black holes. While models suggest globular star cluster Omega Centauri should contain about 10,000 stellar-mass black holes, none have been detected yet. Recently a team of astronomers located the first stellar-mass black hole in Omega Centauri as it is orbited by a lower-mass visible star. By tracking this star's motion on ...Continue Reading
