"The black hole mass is 3.5 million that of the Sun, similar to the central black hole in our own Milky Way."
UCDs are especially rare, as they are larger, brighter and more massive than other galaxies, including our own Milky Way.
What makes the find of the supermassive black hole at the center of the UCD so notable is that UCDs tend to be very small, with radiuses not exceeding 300 light years and an overall mass of several tens of millions of solar masses.
By comparison, the Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across, or a radius of 50,000 light years.
How can someone be so impossibly F'in stupid?
Lol! Yeah, I see what you guys are referring to. Subject was interesting enough. Posted without reading carefully. I assumed they wouldnt screw it up like that.
I caught that too and re-read those paragraphs several times to try to understand until I to realized this must have been written and edited by millennials. Glad I wasn’t alone.
Don't be so hard on yourself. You are just confusing Mass with Size. The first is a measure of density, the other a measure of distance.
