Ghosts of the Future: First Giant Structures of the Universe Hold 800 Trillion Suns
ScienceDaily (Oct. 14, 2010) — Astronomers using the South Pole Telescope report that they have discovered the most massive galaxy cluster yet seen at a distance of 7 billion light-years. The cluster (designated SPT-CL J0546-5345) weighs in at around 800 trillion Suns, and holds hundreds of galaxies.
A blckhole "too big" for its Galaxy
One of the most interesting and important discoveries among galaxies in the last couple decades is that nearly all of them have a supermassive black hole in their centers. Moreover, the mass of the hole is tied very closely to the size and characteristics of the galaxy’s central bulge of old, yellow stars (especially to the stars' range of velocities
