Giant black holes were supposed to be bit players in the early cosmic story. But recent James Webb Space Telescope observations are finding an unexpected abundance of the beasts.
There’s a mod joke in there somewhere.
The sky…it’s fulla holes.
Yep, we’re all gonna die when that thing gobbles us… In a few millions of years.
The things we see are from a millions years ago, who knows where or how big these are right now, might not even exist any more.
*Billions (13,000+ million). Based on our current understanding and their close proximity to each other in the early universe, most of them would have likely merged and many/most may be now at a size where it would take a google years to evaporate. The extremely small ones that did not merge may have already evaporated.

From my understanding they would still have a looong way to go before they would have evaporated.
There’s one right behind us, isn’t there?
