Comet 3I/ATLAS, Spotted By ATLAS In Chile, Is The Fastest Comet Ever At 130k Mph. Likely From A Distant Solar System, Its Speed Comes From Billions Of Years Of Gravitational Slingshots. Hubble Showed Its 1k Ft To 3.5-Mile-Wide Icy Core & Dust Tail. Nearing The Sun By 10/25, It May Disintegrate Or Survive/Speed Up; Its Fate Will Be Clear By 12/25.

Astronomers Found A Dormant Black Hole (BH) In Galaxy SDSS J1148+1930, 5B Ly Away, Weighing 36.3B Solar Masses (SM), Likely The Largest Confirmed Due To Precise Measurement Via Gravitational Lensing & Stellar Kinematics. Likely Formed From BH Mergers, It Nears The 50B BH SM Theoretical Cap. TON 618’s SM Was Revised To ~40B With Uncertainty.
