2024's Black Hole Bonanza: Triple Systems and Cosmic Speedsters

2024 was stellar for black hole research! Astronomers unveiled the fastest-growing black hole, devouring a solar mass daily, and discovered the first-ever 'black hole triple' system, V404 Cygni, 8,000 light-years away. This system, aged 4 billion years, challenges traditional supernova origins. Plus, elusive intermediate-mass black holes surfaced, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope's keen eye. As black holes prove they're not just cosmic vacuum cleaners, our understanding of the universe deepens—one event horizon at a time.
