Insane. The universe is a gargantuan place with endless wonders. I wish.we could explore the bottom of our own oceans we might surpass some of these shocking discoveries. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/ultramassive-black-hole-1.7604929.
Astronomers have discovered what they say is among the most massive black holes ever detected.
The cosmic behemoth is close to the theoretical upper limit of what's possible in the universe, and is 10,000 times heavier than the black hole at the centre of our own galaxy.
It's also 35 billion times as large as our sun, which makes it able to be classified as an ultramassive black hole.
