Image of the disk galaxy (lenticular galaxy) NGC 1277, taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. This small, flattened galaxy contains one of the biggest central supermassive black holes ever found in its center. With the mass of 17 billion Suns, the black hole weighs in at an extraordinary 14 percent of the total galaxy mass. //
