NASA has published a spectacular video to demonstrate the monstrous size of black holes, including TON-618 with a mass of 66 billion suns

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has published another video on supermassive black holes. The new video shows the size of black holes compared to the Sun and the entire Solar System.

Here's What We Know

The supermassive black hole from galaxy J1601+3113 appeared first. It has a mass of about 100,000 solar masses. The radius of the event horizon is comparable to that of the Sun, although the black hole looks twice as big as our star due to its shadow.

Next is a black hole from the Zirkul galaxy with a mass of 4 million Suns. It has a size (taking into account the shadow) comparable to the radius of Mercury's orbit. But the black hole in the M32 galaxy is about half as massive (2.5 million solar masses) but looks larger because of its shadow.

In the Milky Way, of course, there is a black hole. It's called Sagittarius A*. It's 4.3 million times more massive than the Sun. Then the video shows the black gems from the galaxy NGC 7727. They have a mass of 6.3 million and 154 million solar masses, and when they become one object.

The video also showed a supermassive black hole in galaxy M87. It's 5.7 billion times more massive than the Sun. Incidentally, it was its image that was obtained in 2017. The image was published two years later.

Finally, the largest supermassive black hole is called TON-618. It's 66 billion times the mass of the Sun. It's 10 billion light years away. What's interesting is that theory says a black hole can be about 50 billion times more massive than the Sun at most. But TON-618 has an opinion of its own.
