INBOX ASTRONOMY NASA's Hubble Hunts for Intermediate-Sized Black Hole Close to Home Release date: Tuesday, May 23, 2023 10:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time A Dark Central Mass is Lurking at the Hub of a Glittering Stellar Island Gravitational traps in space, black holes, come in different sizes. Or more correctly, different masses, because they are all infinitely small. The first black hole ever discovered, in 1971, weighed in at 21 times our Sun's mass. It was formed by the explo ...Continue Reading
