Giant Einstein Ring Reveals One of the Universe’s Biggest Black Holes

One of the biggest black holes ever was discovered — with a mass of 35 billion suns

Astronomers have used a new method to weigh the ultramassive black hole. They hope this will help them better understand how to find and measure them in the future.

'Largest black hole ever' discovered lurking in depths of space

Scientists have spotted what's thought to be the largest black hole ever recorded - estimated to be the size of 36 billion suns.The newly-found giant has been located five billion light-years from Earth in a galaxy called the Cosmic Horseshoe. The colossus is believed to weigh at least 10,000 times more the supermassive black hole found in the centre of the Milky Way galaxy. **ARE YOU READING THIS ON OUR APP?

Giant Einstein ring reveals one of the Universe’s biggest black holes

Astronomers have uncovered what may be the most massive black hole ever found, 36 billion times the mass of our Sun, hidden at the heart of the Cosmic Horseshoe galaxy. Located 5 billion light-years away, this ultramassive giant bends light into a perfect Einstein ring and whips nearby stars at incredible speeds.

36 billion times the size of Sun: Biggest black hole ever discovered

This ultramassive black hole, weighing in at an astonishing 36 billion times the mass of our Sun, dwarfs the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way by a factor of 10,000.

Scientists Spot the Most Massive Black Hole Ever Found

Astronomers have discovered potentially the most massive black hole ever detected. It is 10,000 times heavier than Milky Way's black hole.

Astronomers detect the largest black hole ever observed – Mass equal to 36 billion suns

Astronomers have reported a colossal find in a famous warped ring of light. Inside the galaxy that forms the Cosmic Horseshoe, researchers measured a black hole weighing 36 billion suns. The inner stars reach speeds near 400 kilometers per second. The result pushes near the upper bound of what theory allows and offers a new way to weigh quiet giants across deep space. The team combined two powerful tools. They modeled how the Horseshoe bends lig…
