Small Yet Monstrous

http://www.space.com/30256-smallest-monster-black-hole-discovered.html



Typically, the sun is the largest thing that humans see on a regular basis. Though we have trouble imagining how large it is. In recent events, scientists have discovered a new tiny black hole that contains about 50,000 times more mass than the sun.  A black hole is a gravitational field that sucks in so many substances, but does not enable them to escape. This black hole is located in RGG 118, which is also referred to as a dwarf galaxy. This black hole has given scientist the idea that there are bigger things outside of our solar system because something that is so small in a different galaxy, is bigger than the sun in our solar system.
Not all black holes are completely black. most of them are surrounded by stars dust and other floating particles.
