Scientists and researchers have been trying to find more information regarding the terrifying black holes that seem to be all around in space destroying planets and stars at will. It can be known that a black hole is an astronomical object with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it. It is a place of eternal pitch black darkness. So, what if we tell you that there is a galaxy which has a black hole that is so much bigger than our Sun? NASA Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image showing the galaxy called M60. The galaxy has a diameter of 1,20,000 light years and at its center lies a huge black hole that's about 4.5 billion times as massive as our Sun.
Informing about the same, NASA Hubble Space Telescope tweeted, "The diffuse, glowing elliptical galaxy seen front and center is the star of this #HubbleClassic! Called M60, the galaxy has a diameter of 120,000 light-years. At its center lies a huge black hole that's about 4.5 billion times as massive as our Sun."

Giving further insights about the galaxy, NASA said in a report, "The Virgo cluster is a collection of more than 1,300 galaxies, including the elliptical galaxy M60. Unlike spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies lack an organized structure and are nearly featureless, resembling the core of a spiral galaxy. The Virgo cluster's third brightest member, M60 has a diameter of 120,000 light-years and is as massive as one trillion suns. At its
