Have you ever wondered how big a black hole can be? From the smallest to the largest, the universe is full of these mysterious objects that can swallow entire stars and even galaxies. In this article, we’ll explore the true size of black holes by comparing them to other celestial objects and give you a perspective that will leave you in awe.

Let’s start with Earth, our beloved planet that we call home. If we were to compress three suns together, the resulting mass would be as small as a city like Paris. But that’s just the beginning. V723 Monocerotis, also known as the “Unicorn” black hole, is the closest one to Earth at a distance of 1500 light-years. Although small in size compared to others, this black hole contains the mass of 142 suns.

Moving on, GW 190521, detected via gravitational waves, is the furthest known black hole from Earth at 17 billion light-years away. This massive black hole contains the equivalent mass of 66 billion suns, making it the largest known black hole to date.

Now, let’s take a look at the black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*. This black hole, which is 25,000 light-years away from us, contains the mass of 4.3 million suns, making it more than a thousand times larger than the previously mentioned black hole.

If you thought that was impressive, wait until you hear about TON 618, the current record holder for the largest known black hole. This black hole contains an astounding one billion solar.
