Astronomers Discover Biggest Black Holes Yet

Research set to appear in the journal Nature will detail some newly-found monster black holes.

FOX News Radio’s Bill Vitka has this preview:

Record breakers: the biggest, baddest, black holes ever discovered.  Each one is 10 billion times the size of our sun.  The pull of gravity is so great, it extends out 4,000 light-years, according to the discovery team led by astronomers at Berkeley.

We haven’t detected them ’til now because these black holes have settled down, entered retirement if you like.  A black hole is an object so dense not even light can escape.

The latest discoveries are clues into how they came to be.  What they don’t tell us is whether there’s any limit to how big a black hole can get.
