Centaur Omega globular cluster - NGC 5139, Omega Centauri globular cluster - Visible to the...

IMAGE number
PIX4564426
Image title
Centaur Omega globular cluster - NGC 5139, Omega Centauri globular cluster - Visible to the naked eye in the southern hemisphere, Centaurus Omega is the most massive globular cluster in the galaxy. About 17,000 light years ago, millions of stars nearly 12 billion years old are concentrated here. This image obtained by the ACS camera of the Hubble space telescope and observations made by the southern Gemini telescope seem to indicate the presence of a black hole in the center of the cluster. NGC 5139 is the largest and most spectacular globular cluster in the entire night sky, and the largest in our galaxy. At 36 arc minutes, Omega Centauri is larger than the full moon in apparent size. It is located about 17,000 light years away from our Sun and at 4th magnitude, is easily visible without a telescope as a “” star”” in the constellation of Centaurus. It contains about 2 million stars, almost twice as many as M13. This composite image obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and data obtained by the GMOS spectrograph on the Gemini South telescope in Chile show that Omega Centauri appears to harbour an elusive intermediate - mass black hole in its centre
