Hubble helps astronomers find smallest known galaxy with supermassive
black hole | Astronomy.com

The supermassive black hole at the center of M60-UCD1 makes up a huge 15
percent of the galaxy's total mass and weighs five times the black hole
at the center of the Milky Way. "That is pretty amazing given that the
Milky Way is 500 times larger and more than 1,000 times heavier than
M60-UCD1," said Anil Seth of the University of Utah. "In fact, even
though the black hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy has the mass
of 4 million Suns, it is still less than 0.01 percent of the Milky Way's
total mass, which makes you realize how significant M60-UCD1's black
hole really is."
