It’s estimated that about 100 million black holes roam around our Milky Way Galaxy – and for the first time ever, astronomers now believe they may have precisely measured the mass of an isolated black hole with Hubble!

Happy #HubbleFriday! ✨

Tendrils of dark dust threading across the spiral galaxy NGC 7172 obscure this galaxy's luminous heart.

NGC 7172 lies approximately 110 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Piscis Austrinus: https://t.co/r9QpjOuGNZ
