Astronomers have used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) to discover a treasure trove of black holes, many of which are rare "missing links" in the cosmic monsters' evolution.
The search, which swept across 410,000 galaxies, identified a staggering 2,500 candidate dwarf galaxies with feeding black holes at their centers and a further 300 intermediate-mass "missing link" black hole candidates — making it the largest haul of either black hole type ever made.
