A big galaxy at the core of cluster Abell 2261, 2.7 billion light-years from Earth, should have an even larger central black hole — a light-gobbling monster that weighs as much as 3 billion to 100 billion suns, astronomers estimate from the galaxy's mass. But the exotic object has evaded detection so far. Largest canyon in Solar System revealed on Mars. Look on Hi-Rise website Nine epic astronomy discoveries you may have missed in 2020.
