Were these monsters only possibile in the early universe? |

Black hole sun
Yeah. We need to get everyone on board with this before those couple of science nerds get to have their lame name attached. |

I hereby declare that the proper scientific name for a black hole sun is a Cornell. |

Yes. There are a ton of factors at play, but the universe was quite a bit different early on. The cores would collapse into a black hole, but the star was still so big that the outer parts become a sort of cocoon around the black hole. They aren't really "stars" since the core (a black hole) isn't doing fusion, but they would appear very star-like if you hung out near one. |

Speculation: these objects may help explain why JWST is finding galaxies much further along in development than we expected early on in the universe. |

I’m gonna be really fucking upset if this isn’t the name adopted universally. |
