Scientists Discover One of the Largest Black Holes in the Universe

Scientists have identified a colossal black hole in the Cosmic Horseshoe galaxy system, estimated to be 36 billion times the mass of the sun, making it one of the largest ever observed, using gravitational lensing techniques. This discovery raises questions about how such massive objects form so early in the universe and challenges current understanding of galaxy and black hole evolution.

Scientists Discover the Largest Black Hole Ever, Bending Light into a Giant Ring

Astronomers have discovered what may be the largest black hole ever, with a mass of 36 billion suns, located in the Cosmic Horseshoe galaxy. Its gravity bends light into a near-perfect ring, and it was measured using gravitational lensing and stellar kinematics despite being dormant and billions of light years away. This finding provides insights into galaxy and black hole formation, especially in massive galaxies.

Scientists Discover a Record-Breaking 36-Billion-Solar-Mass Black Hole

Astronomers have discovered possibly the most massive black hole ever, located at the center of the Cosmic Horseshoe galaxy, with a mass of 36 billion times that of the Sun. Using gravitational lensing and stellar kinematics, they measured its mass by observing the warped light and star movements, revealing a black hole near the theoretical upper mass limit. This discovery, made 5 billion light-years away, could help uncover more about supermassive black holes and dark matter in the universe.

Scientists Discover Ultramassive Black Hole with 36 Billion Solar Masses

Astronomers have discovered what may be the largest black hole ever, with a mass 36 billion times that of the Sun, located in the Cosmic Horseshoe galaxy about 5 billion light-years away. Using innovative measurement techniques involving gravitational lensing and stellar kinematics, they confirmed its immense size, making it one of the most massive black holes known. This dormant black hole likely grew through galaxy mergers and offers new insights into black hole and galaxy evolution. The team plans to use upcoming telescope data to find more such giants.

Cosmic Horseshoe Galaxy Hosts Potentially the Most Massive Black Hole Ever

Astronomers have discovered what may be the most massive black hole ever detected, with a mass of 36 billion solar masses, located in the Cosmic Horseshoe galaxy about 5 billion light-years away. This ultramassive black hole was identified using a combination of gravitational lensing and stellar kinematics, providing more certainty than previous indirect methods. Its discovery helps deepen understanding of the relationship between black holes and galaxy evolution, especially in the context of galaxy mergers and the end stages of galaxy formation.
