Ultramassive Black Hole Could Lie at The Heart of Cosmic Horseshoe

In 2007, astronomers discovered the Cosmic Horseshoe, a gravitationally lensed system of galaxies. New research reveals the presence of an Ultra-Massive Black Hole in the foreground galaxy with a staggering 36 billion solar masses.

One of the biggest black holes ever found

A UK team of astronomers found an ultramassive black hole, an object over 30 billion times the mass of our Sun, in the foreground galaxy – a scale rarely seen by astronomers.
