Ultramassive Black Hole Discovered to Be 33 Billion Times More Massive Than The Sun
From ScienceAlert.com:
"In a galaxy at the center of a massive cluster named Abell 1201, some 2.7 billion light-years away, lurks a cosmic colossus. Not content with being supermassive, the monster is an ultramassive black hole, clocking in at around 32.7 billion times the mass of the Sun."

I am continually awed by the sizes of objects!
