Astronomers Discover Potential Largest Black Hole in the Universe

Astronomers have discovered potentially the largest black hole in the universe, with a mass 36 billion times greater than that of the Sun. The cosmic giant is located in the constellation Leo, five billion light-years away from us. Preliminary estimates suggest the giant is about 10,000 times heavier than the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way and close to the theoretical maximum for such objects. Due to its gravitational influence, it causes nearby stars to move at a speed of nearly 400 kilometers per second.
