Black Hole

A New Size For the Largest Black Hole. Scientists at the University of Texas announced today the finding of the weight of the largest black hole during the 214th meeting of the American Astronomical Society. The black hole is located in the M87 galaxy and is 50 million light years away. The hole was studied and found to be 6.4 billion times the mass of the sun. This study leads to the question of the mass of other black holes and galaxies. This help with understanding the relationship with black holes and galaxies. A higher black hole mass could also help solve the development of developing galaxies called quasars. Quasars are of the early universe and very bright. They develop galaxies by black holes being surrounded by gas and dust, forming stars. They are very large however, around 10 billion solar masses. But the relationship of black holes and quasars is more supported now since the black holes are being discovered to be larger mass than previously thought. This is good news in the science of space, just one step closer to understanding the galaxies and universe.
