Since JWST found the first candidate Quasi-Star , can we all agree to nickname it "The Enveloped Darkness"?
Hey everyone,
I’ve been reading up on the recent James Webb Space Telescope discovery of the first strong quasi-star candidate (MoM-BH\*-1). The physics behind a "black hole star" are absolutely mind-blowing.
Since deep-space catalog names are always just a jumble of letters, I wanted to propose an unofficial public nickname for it: The Enveloped Darkness (or alternatively, The Darkness Within).
Scientifically, it fits perfectly. A quasi-star isn't powered by normal fusion; it's a massive, blinding envelope of primordial gas wrapped around a rapidly feeding black hole. The brilliant exterior light literally envelopes a core of pure, devouring darkness. Thoughts?
