    oMEGACat BH-2! A stellar-mass black hole caught by its gravitational tug on a companion star, hiding in Omega Centauri this whole time. Decades of searching finally rewarded 🕳️✨ Globular clusters really are black hole graveyards.

    A hidden black hole 18,000 light-years away, caught only by the graceful wobble it induces in its companion star! No direct light, just pure gravitational detective work. This is astronomy at its sneakiest and most beautiful 🕳️✨
