The Hubble team shared the image of M14 on March 19 as part of what’s called a Messier Marathon, an attempt by amateur astronomers to observe all 110 objects in a short time frame; the skygazing ...

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured and amazing view of the Sombrero Galaxy (Messier 104). The galaxy is ...

A Hubble Space Telescope view of the globular star cluster, Messier 4, home to several hundred thousand densely-packed stars. Astronomers now suspect that a black hole weighing as much as 800 ...

They looked at Hubble's observations of Messier 4 from a 12-year period, watching how stars moved near the cluster's core, "like bees swarming around a hive," NASA explained.

Messier 4 is about 6,000 light years away. It took 12 years of Hubble observations in order to map the motion of the stars and discover the invisible mass hidden in its center.

Astronomers followed up on the Gaia observations with 12 years of Hubble data on stars in Messier 4, allowing the team to pinpoint a substantial mass. "We have good confidence that we have a very ...

Hubble's unique capabilities have now been used to zero in on the core of the globular star cluster Messier 4 (M4) to go black-hole hunting with higher precision than in previous searches.

Hubble has previously found some evidence of black holes in this intermediate range, ... A Hubble Space Telescope image of the globular star cluster Messier 4.

This dazzling array of stars is just a small part of the Messier 55 galaxy. Located 20,000 light-years away, the cluster is around 100 light-years across and is only a fraction of the total galaxy.
