Cool Article about the Largest Black hole ever to be measured

          At the 217th meeting of American Astronomical Society in Seattle, a new heavyweight champion from space was discovered. It is said that this enormous black hole was the size of 6.6 suns and this shocked many people. Some consequences of the expansion of the black hole could be that it could possibly swallow the entire solar system. That is creepy!
          It is located in the center of Galaxy M47 which thankfully is many light years away from the Milky Way Galaxy. Additionally, a fact about the hole's strength is that it's gravitational pull is four times bigger than the orbit of Neptune.
