Discovery of 100 Black Holes in Milky Way Has Implications on Consciousness
A stellar surprise has been found in hidden space: more than 100 black holes hiding in our own galaxy. What can we learn from this new find and what is the consciousness connection to this mystery of the galaxy?
Scientists were stunned to find more than 100 black holes hidden in the Milky Way, about three times the number of black holes thought to be in the area. NASA describes a black hole as a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. The gravity is so small because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. These black holes are hidden within a cluster of stars called Palomar 5, about 80,000 light-years from Earth.
Astronomer and Gaia News contributor Marc Dantonio weighed in on the significance of this discovery.
“They didn’t expect that there would be so many young stars that had blown up and become supernovae and then left these black holes behind, but there are,” he said. “So it means that at one point this was a very rich star cluster, very bright, and most likely visible from galaxies away.”
