"Record-breaking Ultramassive Black Hole Discovered by Astronomers"

Astronomers have discovered an ultramassive black hole in the galaxy cluster Abell 1201, measuring upwards of 32.7 billion times the mass of our Sun, exceeding previous estimates by at least 7 billion solar masses. The black hole was detected through gravitational lensing, where light curves exponentially around it. This discovery is one of the biggest black holes ever detected and could help us discover more ultramassive black holes in the future.

Astronomers Uncover Massive Black Holes Beyond Imagination

Astronomers from Durham University have discovered an ultramassive black hole, believed to be one of the largest ever detected, using a new technique called gravitational lensing. The black hole has a mass of 30 billion suns and is located at the center of a galaxy hundreds of millions of light-years from Earth. The team used a nearby galaxy as a magnifying glass to bend the light from the black hole, enabling them to closely examine how light is bent by a black hole. The finding opens up the possibility of discovering more inactive and ultramassive black holes than previously thought.

Astronomers detect massive black hole using innovative method

Astronomers have discovered an ultramassive black hole, more than 30 billion times the mass of the sun, using a new technique called gravitational lensing. The black hole was found inside a galaxy hundreds of millions of light years from Earth and is one of the largest ever detected. The discovery opens up possibilities for detecting further black holes and investigating how they grew so large. Ultramassive black holes are the most massive objects in the universe and their origins are unclear, with some believing they were formed from the merging of galaxies billions of years ago.

UK astronomers discover one of the biggest ultramassive black holes ever detected.

UK astronomers have discovered an ultramassive black hole, about 30 billion times the mass of the Sun, using gravitational lensing. The black hole is one of the largest ever detected and on the upper limit of how large black holes can theoretically become. Ultramassive black holes are rare and elusive, and their origins are unclear. The researchers said their work opened up the possibility of discovering more ultramassive black holes than previously thought.
