👉 Nkongsamba is a term in the Wolof language, meaning "the black hole" or "the black hole effect." It refers to the phenomenon where light from distant galaxies can be bent and distorted by gravity, creating a black hole. This effect was first observed in 1967 when a galaxy's gravitational field caused light from another star system to bend around it, creating an apparent black hole that could be seen as a "black hole" in the night sky.
