The supermassive black hole at the core of Messier 87, here shown by an image by the Event Horizon Telescope, is among the black holes in this list.. This is an ordered list of the most massive black holes so far discovered (and probable candidates), measured in units of solar masses (M ☉), approximately 2 × 10 30 kilograms.
Although most galaxies with no supermassive black holes are very small, dwarf galaxies, one discovery remains mysterious: The supergiant elliptical cD galaxy A2261-BCG has not been found to contain an active supermassive black hole of at least 10 10 M ☉, despite the galaxy being one of the largest galaxies known; over six times the size and ...
In November 2021, scientists announced the discovery of a pair of supermassive black holes in NGC 7727, detected with the Very Large Telescope's multi-unit spectroscopic explorer (MUSE) at the European Southern Observatory. The black holes have masses of 154 and 6.3 million solar masses, and are separated 1,600 light years apart.

The universe could be home to far more supermassive black holes than we realised, according to new research. Astronomers from the University of Southampton say that 35% of these galactic giants ...
It possesses a diffuse core which is the largest core of any galaxy known to date, [5] and contains a supermassive black hole, one of the largest discovered. [5] IC 1101 is located at 354.0 megaparsecs (1.15 billion light-years) from Earth. It was discovered on 19 June 1790, by the German-British astronomer William Herschel. [6]
