Scientists Discover What Appears to Be the Largest Black Hole in the Universe, So Heavy That It Completely Bends the Light Around It Into a Giant Ring

Astronomers have discovered what could be the largest black hole ever detected. With a mass of 36 billion times that of our Sun, its gravity is so powerful that it bends the light of an entire galaxy behind it into a near-perfect circle called an Einstein ring, effectively reducing this realm with trillions of stars of its own into an astrophysical fashion accessory. The work, published in a new study in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, demonstrates what could be a
