This was Murph's ghost.
What is Massive Star?
This is how many times greater a massive star's core must be than the sun in order for it to form a black hole.
What is 3 times greater?
This is how much greater the mass of a black hole must be than the sun in order for it to earn the moniker of Supermassive.
