This Black Hole Weighs 66 Billion Suns!
There's a black hole out there that weighs an estimated 66 billion Suns!
It's called TON 618. A typical black hole is only a few times the mass of the Sun, but this one could swallow our entire solar system with room to spare. The gas swirling around it glows so brightly it's estimated to outshine the Sun by over a hundred trillion times, and its light takes about ten billion years to reach us. The mass and brightness figures are scientists' estimates, not exact measurements.
