Black hole stars may have been the largest stars to ever exist. They burned brighter than galaxies and were Larger than any star today or that could ever exist in the future. But besides their scale, what makes them special and weird is that deep inside, they were occupied by a cosmic parasite, an endlessly hungry black hole. How is that even possible?

The fact that 800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons is a concept that ever existed in the universe is horrifying and incredible.
-
The animation is god tier but the music and sound effects are criminally underrated. Massive appreciation to all the team effort.
-
Black hole: did you die? Star: sadly yes, but I lived!
-
Honestly, there's something incredible about the simplicity of the animation style this channel uses. It makes these videos so much more intriguing and fun to watch. I have a severe learning disability yet I find myself completely immersed and actually being able to focus throughout the entirety of these!! :)
-
I always love how these scales are shown, knowing that it's basically impossible for anyone to really be able to grasp how absolutely massive these things really are
-
"The star survives its own death" everything in this video makes my brain explode and I'm here for it
-
Just imagine how far away we needed to be from this star for our planet to remain habitable
-
Kurzgesagt sometimes makes me cry like a baby for no reason. The existential awe induced by awe inducing content, the beautiful animation, the phenomenal music... just everything. I'm a baby in your hands
-
I love that “a star powered by a black hole”, which sounds like something a ten-year old would come up with, turns out to be a legitimate hypothesis in science.
-
According to scientists at the Soundgarden institute, black hole suns were powerful enough to wash away the rain.
-
See, even in the universe, oldman still have better chance of accumulating wealth than latter generation
-
4:30 Universe: Were you killed? Black Hole Star: Sadly, yes… But I lived!
-
Just when you think it couldn't get stranger than strange stars, Kurtzgesagt delivers something extra strange to out strange what we had even remotely heard of previously. Never change.
-
No matter how many times I see a scale-up of the universe, I’m still shocked as ever to see it again, because I just can’t comprehend how unbelievably colossal the universe is. Truly awe-inspiring.
-
This video is purely MAJESTIC. One of the best if not THE best ever made. So happy to contribute to this awesomeness buying your merchandise!
-
The combination of the super interesting story, well told voice-over, and amazing animations make this so immersive and enjoyable to watch... Kurzgesagt will forever be one of my favorite youtube channels, scrap that, favorite content makers of all the internet!!
-
Animation that looks this beautiful and fluid is easy to take for granted, but I know there are sometimes thousands of human-hours involved in their creation. Kudos to all who worked on this.
-
The animators of this channel are impossible to overappreciate. This whole episode was beautiful to look at
-
This is my favorite video of all time, out of all the videos in YouTube. I love the visuals, the explanations, and the actual quasi-star is a cool thing. This was explained in such a good way, i thank you for how good this video is. I hope these get confirmed, these are also my favorite space objects of all time.
