Origins: These black holes are hundreds to hundreds of thousands of times the Sun’s mass. Some are created when stellar-mass black holes merge. Others could be larger primordial black holes. Find using: Gravitational waves Example: 3XMM J215022.4−055108, a black hole with 50,000 times the Sun’s mass, lies around 800 million light-years away.
