Scientists Say Supermassive Black Holes Could Be Surrounded by Millions of Planets - ZME Science
A new theoretical framework, backed by advanced astrophysical simulations, indicates that millions of planets, potentially dubbed "ergo-planets," could form within the turbulent, gas-rich accretion disks encircling supermassive black holes. This groundbreaking research, recently highlighted by a consortium of international astrophysicists, fundamentally reconfigures our understanding of cosmic nurseries, suggesting that planetary abundance extends far beyond stellar systems into the most extreme environments of the universe.
