The Phoenix Cluster (SPT-CL J2344-4243) is a massive, Abell class type I galaxy cluster located at its namesake, southern constellation of Phoenix.It was initially detected in 2010 during a 2,500 square degree survey of the southern sky using the Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect by the South Pole Telescope collaboration.

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 disc.

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 .
Some astronomers refer to black holes of greater than 5 billion M ☉ as ultramassive black holes (UMBHs or UBHs), [19] but the term is not broadly used. 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.
OJ 287 core black holes — a BL Lac object with a candidate binary supermassive black hole core system [23] PG 1302-102 – the first binary-cored quasar — a pair of supermassive black holes at the core of this quasar [24] [25] SDSS J120136.02+300305.5 core black holes — a pair of supermassive black holes at the centre of this galaxy [26]
A black hole with the mass of a car would have a diameter of about 10 −24 m and take a nanosecond to evaporate, during which time it would briefly have a luminosity of more than 200 times that of the Sun. Lower-mass black holes are expected to evaporate even faster; for example, a black hole of mass 1 TeV/c 2 would take less than 10 −88 ...
Gaia BH3 is the first black hole discovered from preliminary Gaia DR4 astrometric data. [2] The black hole and star orbit the system barycentre every 11.6 years, with an orbital distance ranging from 4.5–29 AU. [3] The black hole's mass is 32.70 M ☉, the heaviest known stellar black hole in the Milky Way.
