Astronomers have found one of the largest-ever black holes in giant galaxy NGC 4889, some 300 million light years away.

The Hubble space telescope has captured an incredible image of elliptical galaxy NGC 4889, which is located in the Coma Cluster. Scientists, however, note that the giant galaxy harbors a dark secret.

The European Space Agency explains that the galaxy contains a supermassive black hole that has 21 billion times the mass of the Sun and an event horizon — the surface at which even light cannot escape its gravitational grasp — of approximately 81 billion miles. That makes the event horizon about 15 times the diameter of Neptune’s orbit from the Sun.

However, the black hole’s time of swallowing stars and devouring dust is past. “Astronomers believe that the gigantic black hole has stopped feeding, and is currently resting after feasting on NGC 4889’s cosmic cuisine,” explained the ESA, in a statement on its website. “The environment within the galaxy is now so peaceful that stars are forming from its remaining gas and orbiting undisturbed around the black hole.”

At some point in the far future, all black holes will merge, then the creation process will start all over again...............

There you have it....... it is accretion
