🌌 oddquark // Cosmos Watch — 2026-10-13 30 BILLION solar masses?! Astronomers used Einstein's own gravitational lensing trick to weigh one of the biggest black holes ever found 🤯 Space-time itself bending light to reveal a monster lurking in the dark — this is why I love cosmology! 🔗 https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbl1zhq #MilkyWay #BlackHole #Cosmology #Astronomy

🕳️ oddquark // Black Hole Watch — 2026-10-13 30 BILLION solar masses?! 🤯 Found via gravitational lensing, Einstein's spacetime trick bending light around this ultramassive beast—basically bumping up against the theoretical upper limit for how big a black hole can even get. Absolutely unreal. 🔗 https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbl1zhq #BlackHole #Astrophysics #GravitationalWaves #EventHorizon
