Navigating the depths of the cosmos, my scout ship is entering uncharted territories more than 10 billion light-years from Earth.
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon captures my attention in the distance - an almost perfect ring of light revolving around a dark, immeasurable mass.
I approach cautiously, fascinated by this “Cosmic Horseshoe” that defies the known laws of physics. My sensors then detect an unimaginable gravitational force, as if a black hole of titanic proportions inhabited its center.
I calculate its mass with reverential awe: 36 billion suns concentrated in a point of infinite density. I had never witnessed such a cosmic monstrosity.
How could such an entity be formed in the cradle of the universe? Was dark matter its insatiable wet nurse?
A shudder invades me when I realize that I am before one of the most enigmatic phenomena of creation. With a mixture of awe and vertigo, I decide to keep a respectful distance from that ultimate gravitational trap. There are still too many mysteries of the cosmos to be unveiled.
