On the passing of the test act in 1681 he refused to take the required oath except with a reservation.
Located in the Coma Cluster, about 300 million light years away from Earth, the orb is actually a distant view of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4889. At the center of that galaxy lies a sleeping giant: a supermassive black hole that is 21 billion times the mass of our sun. The size of a black hole can be estimated by its event horizon, or the distance from the center of the black hole at which nothing can escape its gravitational grasp.
A gravitational singularity as predicted by general relativity is at the center of a black hole: any star collapsing beyond a certain point (the Schwarzschild radius) would form a black hole, inside which a singularity (covered by an event horizon) would be formed.
