Black holes have been an enigmatic subject for scientists and mathematicians since humankind first theorized they existed in 1916.
After a breakthrough study announced on April 10, 2019, that they've captured the first direct photographs from the edge (event horizon) of a black hole, astronomers have bucked up and are deconstructing the photograph and carrying out extensive studies on black holes themselves, and how they can be better imaged.
Now, the largest-ever black hole observed has come into focus. The team of researchers at Max Planck Institute have found what appears to be the largest black hole ever observed, about 700 million light-years away from the Earth at the heart of a galaxy called Holm 15A. It is roughly twice the size of the record-holding black hole it displaced — the black hole at the center of galaxy NGC 1277, which is ~11 times as wide as the orbit of Neptune around the sun, and so the black hole at the center of the galaxy Holm 15A is 22 times as wide as the orbit of Neptune around our sun.
