Bigger than allowed
Black holes from stellar explosions should not exceed a certain mass. Now it has been explained how larger specimens can still be created
The globular cluster M80 is 28,000 light-years away from us. It is such environments in which black holes grow quickly.
How big can black holes get? That’s not entirely clear. The largest known specimens have billions of times more mass than our sun. To this day, science cannot satisfactorily answer where these monsters come from.
