The Biggest Black Hole vs Our Solar System: Size Comparison (2023)

🌟 Size Comparison between the Largest Black Hole ever discovered (Phoenix A*) and some members of our Solar System. 📖 The models, as suggested by the paper, are indicative of a central black hole with estimated mass on the order of 100 billion M☉, possibly even exceeding this mass. So, by doing some calculations, Phoenix A*: ⚙ 24,100 times the mass of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way (Sagittarius A*). ⚙ Twice the mass of the Triangulum Galaxy, including its dark matter halo. ⚙ An immense event horizon with the Schwarzschild diameter of nearly 590 billion kilometres (≈ 3,900 AU, 100 times the distance from the Sun to Pluto!). ⚙ A circumference that would take 71 days and 14 hours to travel at light speed. Such a high mass may place it into a proposed category of stupendously large black holes, black holes that may have been seeded by primordial black holes with masses that may reach 100 billion M☉ or more, larg
