There is a black hole at the center of a distant galaxy.

55 million light-years from Earth is the constellation Coma Berenices, where the galaxy M91 is located. It has a bar-shaped structure made of bright stars.

The black hole behind the central bar is between 9.6 and 38 million times the size of the sun, according to a statement from the European Space Agency.

The Hubble Space Telescope has the best images of all time.

According to the statement, M91 has a black hole at its center that is similar to our own.

The Wide Field Camera 3 was used to take the photo of M91. Researchers were able to weigh the central black hole using Hubble data.

The recent image was captured as part of an initiative to study the connection between young stars and the clouds of cold gas in which they form. The team used data from the ground-based ALMA and Hubble to observe the universe. A detailed view of the galaxy was provided by this combination.
