Found Year: 2018.
Who Found It: Montréal’s Université
Place: 3.5 billion light-years away from Earth
Nothing, not even light, can escape from a black hole, which has long been regarded as one of the universe’s most horrifyingly undiscovered forces. An “Ultramassive” black hole was discovered in 2018 by a group of Université de Montréal astrophysicists. This object is ten times larger and considerably more deadly than the previous one.

The group was able to identify “Ultramassive” black holes, which are around 10 billion times as massive as the sun, by using NASA’s Chandra X-ray telescope. These “Ultramassive” black holes seem to be growing faster than their stars, contrary to the previously held belief among scientists that black holes evolved in tandem with their galaxies.
