"At the core of all large galaxies, including our Milky Way galaxy, there is a giant black hole, millions of times the size of our sun," said Michael Kossof from the Goddard Space Flight Center of NASA, said in a statement.

NGC 3758 is approximately 425 million light-years from the constellation Leo constellation. Both black holes in galaxy consists of gas and dust, which has a large energy from the rotation energy around him.

Scientists hope that these findings could add to knowledge about the black hole in the universe. Both the black hole is a 'black hole twins' ever discovered by astronomers.
