The biggest black hole ever:

Successfully, astronomers have found one of the most massive and biggest black hole. It is known as J2157. Its weight is approx. 34 billion times the mass of the sun. The mass of J2157 black hole id about 8,000 times the mass of the black hole in center of the Milky Way," said Christopher Onken.

The J2157 black hole was discovered by Onken and his colleagues in 2018. The studies say it date back to about 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang and it is the most massive yet from this generation of cosmic evolution.

From the University of Arizona the ANU team and researchers used the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope to measure the black holes mass.

Christopher Onken said that "With such an enormous black hole, we are also excited top see what we can learn about the galaxy in which it is growing".

J2157 black hole is extremely so far from us, roughly 12.5 billion light years. It is pretty much far from our Milky Way Galaxy, so we don't need to be afraid of that.
