Astronomers have measured the weight of a huge black hole — 36 billion times the mass of our sun, or six times the size of our entire solar system — in an old and dead galaxy near Earth. This cosmic monster resides in one of the largest galaxies of the Cosmic Horseshoe, holds it top 10 largest black holes ever, and possibly No. Instead, it was spotted through the enormous gravity that warps the light and stars near it, not from X-ray emissions. It provides a very rare glimpse into the early stages of black hole formation and its impact on the speed at which massive galaxies grow. Einstein Horseshoe Reveals Hidden 36-Billion-Solar-Mass Black Hole in Fossil Galaxy System According to a statement from the University of Portsmouth, by measuring the gravitational lensing of light into an “Einstein horseshoe” caused by a background galaxy and also from the motions of stars orbiting the black hole (which are moving nearly 400 km/s), they estimated the mass of this black hole in detail; this d...
