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.

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.
