This is interesting news. According to Nasa, the astronomers have discovered the heaviest black hole in a nearby galaxy. This exceptionally massive black hole was found in Messier 33 galaxy by Chandra telescope and Gemini observatory at Mauna Kea. Jerome Orosz of San Diego State University raises a question “how such a huge black hole could have been formed”.

The mass of the new black hole, namely M33 X-7, has been estimated to be 15,7 times bigger than the mass of our sun! This gigantic black hole orbits another huge object, a star that is 70 bigger than our sun from its mass. This huge companion is also bigger than any companion of black holes found so far.
