Credits: NASA/ESA and G. Bacon (STScI) Black holes are the dark figures of the universe, and many millions of them wander unseen in our galaxy alone. These cosmic heavyweights famously destroy anything that wanders too close, tearing stars and other objects apart with their immense gravitational pull. But this may not be the end of
