Hypothetical heavy particles in the early Universe helped give birth to asteroid-mass black holes.

In the first moments of the Universe, black holes the size of an atom but with the mass of an asteroid were born. Today, their invisible swarm may hold galaxies together — and explain the mystery of dark matter without new particle physics.

🎯 An asteroid-mass black hole is microscopic: passing through Earth, it would leave only a thin tunnel and cause weak tremors. The chance of such an event is extremely small.
