Astronomers Discovered a Black Hole 33 Billion Suns Strong

About this episode

The James Webb Space Telescope has made a mind-blowing discovery that could change everything we know about the universe. It found a black hole so massive it could theoretically destroy our entire universe—10 million times bigger than our sun! This black hole showed up just after the Big Bang, which totally flips our understanding of galaxy formation. Let's chat about this crazy black hole, explore the biggest ones out there, and figure out if we need to worry about them at all. And hey, what could really happen to Earth if the worst-case scenario hits? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
