It was only two weeks ago that astronomers found that what they had previously thought about black holes, was not the entire story. Announced on the 17th of October, a "stellar" black hole was discovered to be 16 times the mass of our own sun. Previously it was thought that the norm was only 10. That record has been smashed, by a new stellar black hole that is weighing in at 24 times the mass of our sun.
