"Dawn of Time: Tiny Black Holes Impacting Earth's Orbit, Study Finds"

A new study suggests that ancient black holes, known as primordial black holes (PBHs), may be altering the orbits of planets in our solar system. These PBHs, which could be made primarily of dark matter, are theorized to have masses between that of asteroids and the size of an average bacterium. While their encounters with Earth wouldn't be catastrophic, they could cause subtle changes in planetary orbits. Detecting these changes, however, presents a significant challenge due to the precision required in measurements and the potential for instrument error.
