A small mass has an extremely small Schwarzschild radius. A black hole of mass similar to that of Mount Everest [19] [note 2] would have a Schwarzschild radius much smaller than a nanometre. [note 3] Its average density at that size would be so high that no known mechanism could form such extremely compact objects.
This would make its Schwarzschild radius about 1.97 AU. Black Hole Disk Flares In Galaxy OJ 287 (1:22; animation; 28 April 2020) Interferometric observations of OJ287 by the VLBA resolved with the CHIRP algorithm and another algorithm by a group from Boston university. [ 7 ]
Any such model requires that the Hubble radius of the observable universe be equal to its Schwarzschild radius, that is, the product of its mass and the Schwarzschild proportionality constant. This is indeed known to be nearly the case; at least one cosmologist, however, considers this close match to be a coincidence. [3]
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.
[5] [6] As an elliptical galaxy, the galaxy is a spheroid rather than a flattened disc, accounting for the substantially larger mass of M87. Within a radius of 32 kiloparsecs (100,000 light-years), the mass is (2.4 ± 0.6) × 10 12 times the mass of the Sun, [47] which is double the mass of the Milky Way galaxy. [53]

Cygnus X-1 (abbreviated Cyg X-1) [11] is a galactic X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus and was the first such source widely accepted to be a black hole. [12] [13] It was discovered in 1964 during a rocket flight and is one of the strongest X-ray sources detectable from Earth, producing a peak X-ray flux density of 2.3 × 10 −23 W/(m 2 ⋅Hz) (2.3 × 10 3 jansky).
Hence, when we observe a distant background galaxy (or some other celestial body), we may be lucky to see the same image of the galaxy multiple times, albeit more and more distorted. [11] A complete mathematical description for how light bends around the equatorial plane of a Kerr black hole was published in 2021.
