"Join the Hunt: Scientists Seek Volunteers to Search for Black Holes"

Scientists are enlisting the help of the public through a project called Black Hole Hunter to search for black holes using data from NASA's TESS. By analyzing changes in the brightness of light from stars, citizen scientists can identify signs of black holes through gravitational microlensing. The project aims to locate black holes that are otherwise invisible and invites anyone with an interest in space to participate in this citizen science initiative. Additionally, astronomers are using the Hubble Space Telescope to search for intermediate-sized black holes, while NASA is celebrating black hole week by sharing visualizations of supermassive black holes.
