from What If: Science, Theory, and Possibilities · host What If

Black holes are dark, matter-devouring balls of gravity. Most of them are so far away that we don't need to worry about them, but not this one. Meet Gaia BH1. This enormous black hole sits right outside our Solar System. Made possible with the support of Ontario Creates.
