How Big Is the BIGGEST Black Hole?

The size of blackholes is wild. Here's the range, from smallest to largest...

Ever wondered what would happen if you fell into one? We’re making a longer video all about black holes featuring physicist Brian Cox, so subscribe for more of our show Huge If True!

One of the most massive black holes we know about is TON 618, but there are others that might be more massive. One example is Phoenix A*, estimated to have a mass of 100 billion suns! TON 618 is further away than Phoenix A*, meaning we're seeing what it looked like further back in time than Phoenix A*. And maybe there's an even more massive black hole out there waiting to be found… We have a longer episode with physicist Brian Cox on all of this and more coming soon!

Our brains run out of “scale” long before this really hits home

[eshanchops]

"Woah that's big. Can't get bigger than that!"
"Oh. OH!"

[michaeltolbert]

Sometimes u forget how tiny u actually are

[ambarkumarmandal]

Wait until you realize interstellar beings are playing snake game with these black holes eating galaxies and getting bigger just to win a game.

Shoutout to the guy who went out and put a scale under these black holes

[LeviathanClassCreations]

That is so incomprehensively big and thats terrifying in a way I can never describe

[tc]

If I recall, that last one is 40x the diameter of our solar system….which….what!

[ImAHuman]

Fun fact: a black hole as small as an atom can be as heavy as a whole mountain

"Oh so there's a bigger one”
"Oh so there's a bigger one”
"Oh so there's a bigger one”

"😮😮😮😮😮😮😮"


Edit- since everyone is mentioning bigger and bigger object. I would also like to leave an honorable mention -- my best friend Vibek's mom.

Excited for the long form black hole video!!!

Black holes and their physics is so beautiful. When they form, they spew out the fused elements they created, this matter makes its way through the universe and eventually into us. Life was made because of the death of stars billions of years ago.

One thing I love about our universe is that things can continuously get bigger and bigger without seemingly a limit

[leocracker]

The 3 biggest black holes ever disovered are :
3rd : Ton 618
2nd : Pheonix A
1st : Abell 1101

[Rave]

Superb 😮
It kept getting bigger, in the way I never expected

[LucianoSmerrosy]

How do scientists even come to determine the mass of black holes in the first place, they're mind boggling

[subhasishmazumder]

Still lighter than mom's grocery bag

[Sunil_Kumar]

Fun fact: If our Earth becomes a black hole, then it would have the same mass as of now, but only having a diameter of around 1-2 cm

I love the excitement in your voice when you share details. You are so excited like a kid is excited about something new.

We are UNBELIEVABLY tiny compared to the rest of space 🤯
