Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered the closest massive black hole to Earth, described as a “frozen in time” cosmic titan.

This intermediate-mass black hole, with a mass of about 8,200 suns, may help bridge the gap between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes.

It is significantly more massive than stellar-mass black holes (which range from 5 to 100 solar masses) but much less than supermassive black holes that can have masses in the millions or billions of suns, Space.com has reported.
