A Field Of Giant Black Holes Discovered

Astronomers have found a field of over 1,000 super-massive black holes, gathering increasing information about how those anomalies occur and develop. Earth remains however pretty safe, as these “monsters” are between 6 and 11 billion light years away.

A new wide-field panorama reveals more than a thousand supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies, some up to several billion times more massive than the sun.
