A black hole 30 billion times the size of the Sun has been discovered

 Durham: British astronomers believe they have discovered the biggest black hole ever discovered.

According to experts, the mass of this black hole is 30 billion times the mass of our Sun, while its existence is 8000 times larger than Sagittarius A* at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.

Experts said that the very interesting discovery was made possible by the phenomenon of gravitational lensing and it was the first time that a black hole had been discovered using this technique. Gravitational lensing occurs when a galaxy in the foreground bends and magnifies light from distant objects behind it.

Using this technique, Durham University researchers took a closer look at the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy, hundreds of millions of light-years from Earth.

Dr. James Nightingale, lead author of the study, said the black hole, which has an estimated 30 billion times the mass of our Sun, is one of the largest black holes ever discovered.

To estimate how big this black hole is, according to Dr. James Nightingale, if you look at the sky at night and gather all the stars and planets together, they will still be the size of this black hole. They will not be able to fill even the tenth.
