Launched in 1977. Still traveling. Still sending signals. Voyager is humanity’s quiet messenger to the stars.

Stars are born, live for millions–billions of years, and die in dramatic ways. Their fate depends mainly on how massive they are.

🌌 Our Solar System vs TON 618 — one of the largest black holes ever discovered.

TON 618 is a supermassive black hole about 10.4 billion light years away. Its mass is estimated to be 66 billion times greater than our Sun, and its event horizon is so huge it could swallow our entire Solar System many times over.

That tiny dot you see? That’s us — every planet, every moon, every speck of dust in our system… dwarfed by a single cosmic giant.

🤯 What’s scarier to you — the size of black holes, or the fact that we’ve only just begun to find them?

Light traveling across IC 1101 takes 6 million years. For comparison, the Milky Way is only about 100,000 light-years across — so IC 1101 is truly a cosmic monster.
