(CNN) — Un agujero negro ultramasivo, considerado uno de los más grandes jamás detectados, ha sido descubierto por astrónomos utilizando una nueva técnica.Los hallazgos, publicados por la Royal Astronomical Society, muestran que el agujero negro tiene más de 30.000 millones de veces la masa del sol, una escala que es raramente vista por los astrónomos.Los investigadores lo describieron como un descubrimiento “extremadamente emocionante” que abre posibilidades “tentadoras” para detectar más agujeros negros.El equipo, dirigido por la Universidad de Durham en el Reino Unido, utilizó una técnica conocida como lente gravitacional, en la que una galaxia cercana se usa como una lupa gigante para desviar la luz de un objeto más distante.
