Here it is, as predicted. The Supermassive black hole in the centre of M87 (No, Not M67) galaxy. Measured at
6.5 billion solar masses.

Amazing - and slightly terrifying!  Still a lot of stuff about our universe we don't understand.

Indeed Tony, but if we could harness its usefulness in a safe manner it could be advantageous. For starters we could get rid of all our landfill rubbish!

On a serious note a larger galaxy, IC 1101 has a black hole estimated at 23 billion solar masses.
