A supermassive black hole is the largest type of black hole, containing a mass of the order of hundreds of thousands to billions of times the mass of the Sun. Black holes are astronomical objects that have undergone gravitational collapse, leaving behind regions of space from which not even light can escape. Nearly all observed large galaxies contain a supermassive black hole, located at the galaxy’s center. More Info – Wikipedia
