The Cosmic Giants: Exploring Black Hole Stars

TLDRBlack hole stars, the largest stars in the universe, were fueled by cosmic parasites - black holes. These massive stars burned brighter than galaxies and were larger than any star today. They could solve the mystery of supermassive black holes. The James Webb Space Telescope may provide evidence of their existence.

Key insights

🌟Black hole stars were the largest stars that ever existed, with up to 10 million times the mass of our Sun.

🕳️Black hole stars had black holes at their core, which fed on mass and grew rapidly.

🌌Black hole stars could explain the existence of supermassive black holes found at the center of galaxies.

The James Webb Space Telescope may provide evidence of the early existence of black hole stars.

🔭Black hole stars challenge our understanding of how stars form and grow.
