HOLMBERG — 15A THE BIGGEST BLACK HOLE EVER SPOTTED Millions of black holes live in our galaxy Milky way. Black hol Esta are known for their gravitational pull, having escape velocity greater than speed of light. They are too massive. Scientists are looking for such black holes for further studies. In this process, they came across a black hole which is nearly 40 billion times massive than sun which is more than black hole found in M87 galaxy which is nearly 16 billion times massive than sun. HOLMBERG-15A is the biggest black hole ever spotted. Holmberg 15A is a supergiant elliptical galaxy and the central dominant galaxy of the Abell 85 galaxy cluster in the constellation Cetus, about 700 million light-years from Earth. It was discovered c. 1937 by Erik Holmberg. The black hole is nearly 700 millions light year away from earth. Researchers state that the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of the cool-core cluster Abell 85, consists ...
