APOD: A Plurality of Singularities at the... (2018 May 12)

[BDanielMayfield]

Since no one else has yet suggested it, a Maelstrom of Black Holes.

Perhaps:

a lace
an emmental (Swiss Cheese)
a hawking (in his honor)
an event
a horizon
a consternation (takeoff on constellation; also stern = star in German)
a concavum (see http://www.majstro.com/dictionaries/Latin-English/cavum)

Since a group of ravens is called a "conspiracy", and a group of crows (also black) is called a "murder", i vote for a group of black holes to called either a "plot" (which has both the scheming and the cemetery parcel connotations), or a "collusion" (which also has the first four letters of "collapsed").

• There is no "collusion."

I like these alliterative possibilities:

a blunderbuss of black holes
a blockbuster of black holes
a blowout of black holes
a blitz of black holes

[LPComiré]

I would go with a "Cauldron of Black Holes". It boils and bubbles all the time...

Though a "Plurality" of singularities does have a touch of irony, humour and logic all in one.

[sillyworm2]

a whole bunch of black holes

[tomatoherd]

it's obvious (to me) now:

the collective for ghostly black holes should be a "haunt".

• A Camp Pamadeva of black holes.

The Outhouse Rules - York County, circa 1935
Jim McClure, YorkDailyRecord Oct. 28, 2008

<<One of the retired educators attending the speech, Jim Rudisill, told about a 16-holer at Camp Pamadeva, near Smith Station in southwestern York County. That was 16 on the boys' side and 16 on the girls' side, situated back to back. Hmm, that makes 32 holes.>>
