M60-UCD1 contains about 140 million stars while the width of this galaxy is only equivalent to 300 light-years - equal to one-fifth of the diameter of the Milky Way's Milky Way, including the Earth. Our land.

Astronomers estimate that the aforementioned 'super-massive' black hole occupies an area of ​​up to 15% of the galaxy and weighs about 20 million Suns and is five times heavier than the black hole in the center Milky Way Milky Way.

This can be explained as follows: M60-UCD1 is part of a larger galaxy, this galaxy is separated and produces a discontinuity region containing a black hole.

Prior to the new discovery, the 'super- size ' of the same black holes is only found at the center of our large galaxies, including the Earth.

Astronomers believe that the new discovery shows that dense galaxies of stars may contain a 'super-massive' black hole and may have two or more black holes in the universe than previously predicted. here.
