The black hole is one of the most important objects in the universe, and some of the ones that are the least difficult to observe, but today NASA presents us with something that we don't see that often. More precisely, those from NASA present in the video clip above a concentration of black holes in an area of the universe, the Hubble space telescope being the one that captured everything for all of humanity, and we are talking about a truly impressive achievement now.
The black hole which was thought to be at the center of the globular cluster NCG 6397 is actually a concentration of smaller black holes, something NASA is now proud of. This globular cluster is located approximately 7800 light-years from Earth, being the closest to us, and what NASA has managed to discover for all of humanity is truly impressive if we consider that it is almost as old as the universe.

The black hole that NASA thought it saw there was an intermediate one, that is, one between normal and supermassive ones, but in reality it seems to be several small black holes. The error was based on the way this globular cluster is seen from a distance by the Hubble telescope, so that if there had been no interference from the atmosphere, things would have been much different for what is visible to NASA.
"We found very strong evidence for an invisible mass in the dense core of the globular cluster, but were surprised to find that this additional mass is not 'point-like' (as would be expected for a solitary massive black hole), but extended to a few percent of the cluster size. Our analysis indicated that the orbits of the stars are almost random throughout the globular group, rather than systematically circular or highly elongated."
The black hole that would have existed there would have been at the center of a variety of stars that are at very small distances from each other, as happens in globular clusters in various areas of the universe. NASA has never found an intermediate black hole in an area like this, so if they did it now, it would be a very important first for the American space agency, but the reality is that it is much different, in the end.
The black hole it still remains an object about which scientists do not know much, and this remains a problem from the point of view of explaining many phenomena that exist in the universe.
