How black holes became cosmic monsters: Scientists uncover violent merger chain behind giant space objects

The universe is full of surprises, and black holes are at the center of it. The largest star ever discovered doesn’t seem to fit into the usual story of stellar death. A new study suggests that these extreme objects may not have formed in a collapse at all. Instead, they can grow gradually within dense … Read more
