I will discuss novel signatures of gravothermal collapse in self-interacting dark matter halos and explore how they may be detected through observations of strong gravitational lensing, stellar streams, satellite galaxies, and supermassive black holes, including the JWST Little Red Dots. These studies may open new avenues for probing the particle physics of dark matter.
