Much like stars and planets, black holes also fall into different categories. . The black hole weighs 40 billion times the mass of our sun.
Holm 15A is a central elliptical galaxy within the Abell 85 cluster, which contains more than 500 galaxies. The cluster is 700 million light-years from Earth ---- that's twice as far as the distance for other direct measurements of black hole mass. But it was the center of Holm 15A that interested scientists. The large galaxy is highly visible due to its wealth of stars, but the center of it was very faint and diffuse.
