The black hole is so enormous that it makes up roughly 40% of the total mass of its host galaxy: in comparison, most black holes in the local universe are roughly 0.1% of their host galaxy mass.

The term ‘Big Bang’ might make you think of a massive explosion. Put the thought out of your head. Rather than an explosion, it was the start of everything in the universe.

The Big Wheel’s stellar disk is about 30 kiloparsecs in diameter, or nearly 98,000 light-years across. For reference, the Milky Way’s diameter is about 100,000 light-years, about the same size ...

In fact, it's too big. The only known way to create black holes is through the deaths of massive stars. When big stars die, they leave behind black holes up to a few dozen times the mass of the sun.
