## Resource

A new study suggests that supermassive black holes may be far more than cosmic destroyers. Researchers found that the dense disks of gas and dust surrounding these giants could provide ideal conditions for the rapid formation of millions of planets, including unusual worlds unlike anything seen in our Solar System. If confirmed, black holes could rank among the universe’s most prolific planet factories. Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.
