Discover a monster black hole 100,000 times bigger than the Sun, the second largest in the Milky Way
Japanese astronomers discovered a supermassive black hole hidden in a cloud of suspended gas near the center of the Milky Way with a diameter of up to 1400 billion km and a mass of 100,000 times the Sun.

Using ultra-powerful telescopes in the Atacama desert, Chile observed gas clouds to learn about the movements of air currents, researchers found signs of black holes. Airflows in this cloud, including carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide, move at different speeds.
In addition, they found that molecules in the elliptical cloud are 200 light-years from the center of the Milky Way galaxy and 150,000 billion kilometers wide. They have a very strong gravitational pull with circular motions. According to the computer model, researchers believe that it is a black hole with a diameter of 1,400 billion km.
This is the first time researchers have discovered an intermediate black hole candidate in the Milky Way. This will help astronomers better understand the largest objects in the universe.
If this finding by Japanese scientists is confirmed, this will be the second largest black hole in the Milky Way, after the black hole Sagittarius A * in the center of this galaxy.
