This black hole is on the move!

Hubble determined the evidence of an isolated black hole roaming around the Milky Way.

It's estimated that there are about 100 million black holes like this that are drifting through our galaxy: https://go.nasa.gov/3tYXbDP

Astronomers estimate that 100 million black holes roam among the stars in our Milky Way galaxy, but they have never conclusively identified an isolated black hole.

I don't care what anyone says about distance, time or probability. These things give me nightmares.

It feels like being looked at by the end of the universe.

I can't wait for the day where we find out what's inside them is there another universe or is there morning? It's so fascinating. Imagine if all the matter went into another universe which went into a multiverse! It's amazing.
