A globular cluster is a spherical collection of stars tightly bound by gravity. The globular cluster Omega Centauri is located approximately 15,800 light-years from Earth. This globular cluster contains several million stars. Some scientist think that a black hold lies at the center of Omega Centauri. Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers measured the motions of more than 100,000 of its stars. From this they can predict the motions of the stars some 10,000 years into the future. Does a black hole lie at the center of the Omega Centauri globular cluster? Based on this, astronomers do not think so.
