Gigantic black holes, known as supermassive black holes, reside at the centers of most large galaxies, with some like TON 618 and the one in the Cosmic Horseshoe (or IC 1101) potentially reaching tens of billions of solar masses, making them the universe's most massive objects, far exceeding our Milky Way's Sagittarius A*. These behemoths grow by consuming surrounding matter and merging with other black holes, influencing galaxy evolution and hosting incredibly energetic phenomena, though direct imaging remains challenging.
