The corrections for the article are hilarious: Correction, April 10, 2019: Due to an editing error, this post originally misstated that the black hole is 6.5 million times the size of the sun. It has 6.5 billion times the mass of the sun. Correction, April 11, 2019: Due to an editing error, the post also originally misstated that the black hole was 55 million light-years old. It is 55 million light-years away.

> the black hole was 55 million light-years old. It is 55 million light-years away. Are these not basically the same thing ?

  No, just that our view of it is how it looked 55 million years ago. Time is relative anyway though, so...

  Nope; it means that the light we captured now took 55 million years (give or take) to get here, the black hole is likely much older.
