The White Dots in This Image Are Not Stars or Galaxies. They're Black Holes!
The image above may look like a fairly normal picture of the night sky, but what you're looking at is a lot more special than just glittering stars.
Each of those white dots is an active supermassive black hole.
And each of those black holes is devouring material at the heart of a galaxy millions of light-years away - that's how they could be pinpointed at all.

Astronomers find first direct evidence of gravitational wave background
Scientists have heard the "chorus" of gravitational waves emanating throughout the universe for the very first time, and it's louder than they expected.
The new discovery was made by scientists using the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav).
To reach their findings, they closely observed stars called pulsars that essentially act as cosmic metronomes, allowing scientists to measure a great deal of space phenomena.
Crucially, the new findings constitute the first direct evidence for the gravitational wave background, which only existed in theories until now.
