One of the largest known black holes, TON 618, is estimated to be 66 billion times the mass of our Sun, and its shadow is so large that a beam of light would take weeks to traverse it, making it significantly larger than our solar system.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Using its ChemCam instrument, NASA’s Curiosity rover discovered higher-than-usual amounts of manganese in lakebed rocks within Gale Crater on Mars, which indicates that the sediments were formed in a river, delta, or near the shoreline of an ancient lake. 🧪
