Biggest Black Hole Discovered

Newspaper current event by VnutZ on 16 February 2008, tagged as space, black hole, and astronomy

Astronomers recently discovered the largest known black hole in the universe. At the center of quasar OJ287 is a super-massive black hole with a mass equivalent to 18 billion suns which is roughly the mass of a small galaxy. Even more interesting is that a second black hole, a smaller mass of 100 million suns, also lies in the quasar and orbits around the first. The two are expected to collide in 10,000 years.
