  • X/Twitter

    Due to recent news involving X, formerly Twitter and its owner, the staff of SuperHeroHype have decided it would be best to no longer allow links on the board. Starting January 31st, users will no longer be able to post direct links to X on this site, however screenshots will still be allowed as long as they follow Hype rules and guidelines.

    We apologize for any inconvenience.

Our solar system vs TON 618, one of the largest black holes ever discovered.jpg



Our solar system vs TON 618, one of the largest black holes ever discovered:

TON 618 is a supermassive black hole estimated to be around 40 billion times the mass of our Sun.

And it is *significantly* larger than our solar system. With a diameter roughly 30-40 times that of the solar system's furthest reaches, our entire solar system, from the Sun to the distant Oort Cloud, would vanish within TON 618’s gravitational grasp.
