Just like the smallest stores can fit massive crowds on Black Friday, this small galaxy contains a supermassive black hole. Astronomers using data from our Hubble Space Telescope have found this unlikely object in an improbably place — a monster black hole lurking inside one of the tiniest galaxies ever known. If you lived inside this dwarf galaxy, the night sky would dazzle with at least 1 million stars visible to the naked eye. Our nighttime sky as seen from Earth’s surface shows 4,000 stars. The finding implies there are many other compact galaxies in the universe that contain supermassive black holes. Today is our third annual #BlackHoleFriday, where we're posting pics & info about black holes on #BlackFriday. Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI-PRC14-41a #blackhole #blackholes #NASA #Space by nasa
