- The giant black hole has a mass of 30 billion suns.
- It could consume billions of suns like the one in our Solar System.
- The black hole is located in one of the galaxies of the Abell 1201 galaxy cluster.
- It is located hundreds of millions of light-years from Earth.
- This is discovered through gravitational lensing method for the first time.
