The largest known SuperMassive Black hole (as of 2011) is located in OJ 287 with a mass of 18 Billion Solar Masses!
That is 6 times larger then it's nearest competitor.
Blackhole + Galaxy
There are many black holes in the universe, and they are generally in the very center of a galaxy. Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, has one big black hole in the centre of it.
It's the same as a regular black hole, exept the star that went supernova is much bigger! By the way, supermassive black holes are in the center of every galaxy, including ours.
The 2nd largest is the comet galaxy
the theory says in the center of each galaxy there must be a blackhole with an incredibly dense mass concentrated in a very small space. We can't "see" them because light that is entering a blackhole simply "stops" making it impossible to see what's inside because the outside is covered by the light that got trapped.
It may sound crazy, but yea. there is this big as black hole in the middle of our galaxy, so we orbit the black hole.
In the galaxy m87 at the center of the constellation Virgo, is a super massive blackhole of 3 billion solar masses and a diameter of 11 billion miles.And that is in the known universe.Another's view: There is a blackhole of 18 billion solar masses in the quasar OJ 287 and it is (approximately) 3.5 billion light years away.
Yes. The mass inside the black hole is about 4 million times that of the sun.
The Andromeda Galaxy is not the largest galaxy in the universe, but it is one of the largest galaxies in our local group. The largest galaxy known is IC 1101, which is over 50 times the size of the Milky Way.
No. The largest known galaxy of its kind is the spiral galaxy Malin 1.
The galaxy which we are located in is the Milky Way Galaxy. It is a spiral galaxy.
Observations seem to suggest that there is already a super massive black hole at the centre of our galaxy.
