We now know just how massive the fastest-growing black hole in the Universe actually is, as well as how much it eats, thanks to new research led by The Australian National University (ANU).

It is 34 billion times the of our sun and gorges on nearly the equivalent of one sun every day, according to Dr. Christopher Onken and his colleagues.

“The black hole’s mass is also about 8,000 times bigger than the black hole in the centre of the Milky Way,” Dr. Onken said.
