Size comparison of the event horizons of the black holes of TON 618 and Phoenix A. The orbit of Neptune (white oval) is included for comparison. As a quasar, TON 618 is believed to be the active galactic nucleus at the center of a galaxy, the engine of which is a supermassive black hole feeding on intensely hot gas and matter in an accretion ...
The science and philosophy channel Kurzgesagt has come out with a mind-blowing size comparison of the universe's black holes. The post Black Hole Size Comparison Chart Gives New View of Universe ...
The supermassive black hole at the core of Messier 87, here shown by an image by the Event Horizon Telescope, is among the black holes in this list. This is an ordered list of the most massive black holes so far discovered (and probable candidates), measured in units of solar masses ( M ☉ ), approximately 2 × 10 30 kilograms .
Size comparison of the event horizons of the black holes of TON 618 and Phoenix A. The orbit of Neptune (white oval) is included for comparison. The central black hole of the Phoenix Cluster is the engine that drives both the Seyfert nucleus of Phoenix A, as well as the relativistic jets that produce the inner cavities in the cluster center.

Its supermassive black hole is being ejected and will one day become a displaced quasar. TON 618: TON 618 is a very distant and extremely luminous quasar—technically, a hyperluminous, broad-absorption line, radio-loud quasar—located near the North Galactic Pole in the constellation Canes Venatici.
It harbors a black hole with mass of 12 billion solar masses [1] (estimated (1.24 ± 0.19) × 10 10 M ☉ according to MgII emission line correlations). This makes it one of the most massive black holes discovered so early in the universe, although it is only less than one fifth as massive as Ton 618 , the most massive black hole known.
Possible examples include the black holes at the cores of TON 618, NGC 6166, ESO 444-46 and NGC 4889, [20] which are among the most massive black holes known. Some studies have suggested that the maximum natural mass that a black hole can reach, while being luminous accretors (featuring an accretion disk), is typically on the order of about 50 ...
The supermassive black hole in PG 0844+349 has an estimated solar mass of 2.138×10 7. [16] This makes the galaxy contain one of the largest black holes, but a lower black hole mass putting it between Messier 58 and Centaurus A. Only TON 618 has a higher black hole solar mass of 4.07×10 10 compared to PG 0844+349. [17]
