UK scientists found one of the largest ever black holes using a special new technique. The great void is so large that it is categorized as 'ultramassive' and is estimated to be roughly as large as theoretically possible.
The great void is so large that it is categorized as"ultramassive," as opposed to the usual"supermassive," and is estimated to be roughly as large as theoretically possible, according to Space.com.“This particular black hole, which is roughly 30 billion times the mass of our Sun, is one of the biggest ever detected and on the upper limit of how large we believe black holes can theoretically become, so it is an extremely exciting discovery,” lead author Dr.
The black hole, found in the galaxy cluster Abell 1201, was discovered by taking advantage of a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. Gravitational lensing serves as a natural telescope, allowing Earth-bound observers to view objects much further away. The team observed light from a more distant object bent by a foreground galaxy, which magnified it, and coupled it with supercomputer simulations.
