Supermassive black holes are thought to lurk at the hearts of most, if not all, galaxies. Our own Milky Way has one as massive as 4 million suns, for example, and M87's — the only black hole ever imaged directly — tips the scales at a whopping 2.4 billion solar masses.
The big galaxy at the core of the cluster Abell 2261, which lies about 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.
And here's another article:
Supermassive Black Hole's Dust Ring May Be Casting Shadows From Heart of a Galaxy
This Hubble Space Telescope image of the heart of nearby active galaxy IC 5063 reveals a mixture of bright rays and dark shadows coming from the blazing core, home of a supermassive black hole. Astronomers suggest that a ring of dusty material surrounding the black hole may be casting its shadow into space. According to their scenario, this interplay of light and shadow may occur when light blasted by the monster black hole strikes the dust ring, which is buried deep inside the core.
Some of the most stunning views of our sky occur at sunset, when sunlight pierces the clouds, creating a mixture of bright and dark rays formed by the clouds’ shadows and the beams of light scattered by the atmosphere.
The Black Hole: Go Inside Las Vegas Raiders Football - Sports Illustrated Oakland Raiders News,
Henderson, Nev.: People are hungry for information on their beloved Las Vegas Raiders, and I am here with a smorgasbord of food.
I get a lot of nuggets and information that alone are not big enough for a story. When I have a few that I can assemble, I will, and when I only have one or two, I will post them on our community page. So, welcome to The Black Hole.
I can tell you this; Raider Nation has a ton to be excited about. This article is already long, or I could give you many more reasons and players to be excited about. Keep your eyes out for the next "Black Hole," and please tell your friends about it.
Watch new footage of Guns N' Roses covering Soundgarden's 'Black Hole Sun'
New footage has emerged of Guns N' Roses covering Soundgarden ‘s ‘Black Hole Sun’ – watch it below.

Last year, Chris Cornell earned his first solo Billboard Number One with a cover of Guns N' Roses' 'Patience'.
Recorded in 2016, The cover, which reached the top of Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs chart last October, was released on July 20, 2020 – marking what would have been the Audioslave and Soundgarden singer's 56th birthday.

Bad Astronomy | Dark matter may be primordial black holes according to new research
It's possible that dark matter is made of tiny black holes created at the very beginning of time by nucleation from bubbles of false vacuum that created baby universes containing sub-lunar masses of matter during an infinitesimally brief period of cosmic hyperinflation.
If so, a team of scientists think , this could solve several nagging puzzles about the Universe, including dark matter, gravitational wave sources, and an odd observation made of the Andromeda Galaxy.

The Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) is home to many interdisciplinary projects which benefit from the synergy of a wide range of expertise available at the institute. One such project is the study of black holes that could have formed in the early universe, before stars and galaxies were born.

The ties between Cornell and GnR are strong. Just this past July, the Cornell family marked his birthday with a previously unheard cover of GnR’s “Patience”:
This album is so special because it is a complete work of art that Chris created from start to finish. His choice of covers provides a personal look into his favorite artists and the songs that touched him. He couldn't wait to release it. This moment is bittersweet because he should be here doing it himself, but it is with both heartache and joy that we share this special album. All of us could use his voice to help heal and lift us this year, especially during the holiday season.
Mysterious cosmic object swallowed by black hole baffles astronomers
A visualization two black holes in the process of spiraling together and merging, emitting gravitational waves. The orange bands show the highest amounts of radiation from the system. The merger, observed by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave detectors on August 14th, 2019, revealed that the smaller object is about 2.6 times the mass of the sun—a mysterious size that could reveal the border between a neutron star and a black hole.

About 800 million light-years away , a black hole devoured an unidentified object, and the resulting cosmic merger released enough energy to wrinkle the fabric of spacetime . These wrinkles, called gravitational waves, traveled through the universe and eventually washed over Earth on August 14, 2019.
