Supermassive black holes are largest ever discovered. A figure depicting the immense size of the black hole discovered in the galaxy NGC 3842. Astronomers have located the two biggest black holes ever found, each one billions of times more massive than our sun. Observations of these supermassive cosmic objects will give scientists clues on how black holes and galaxies formed and evolved, especially in the earliest stages of the universe's existence.
