blazar (redshift 5.47 / 12.7 billion light years), discovered in July, 2004. The engine of the blazar is a supermassiveblack hole approximately 16 billion times the mass of theSun (roughly 3% the mass of theMilky Way Galaxy ). Theevent horizon volume is on the order of 1000 times that of theSolar System . It is one of the most massive black holes on record.tatistics
