M87 ist rund 24 Milliarden Meilen durch, während Ton 618 ungefähr 242 Milliarden Meilen durch. Das Universum ist wirklich umwerfend.

That beast might be around for the next googol years or more. To it, the stellar era will be but a brief flicker.
Pictured: OP’s mom…
In all seriousness though, I can see how falling into a black hole that size wouldn’t cause instant spaghettification
What’s to stop an object like this from being rogue and undetected because it currently isn’t eating anything, just plowing through our corner of the galaxy like we’re a mosquito stuck on the front fender of an australian road train?
Slightly misleading title since M87 itself is supermassive galaxy with trillions of stars and you can’t just compare size of our solar system to it using few hundred pixels image (our solar system won’t even cover single pixel).
You should usually use “M87 black hole” or “M87*” when talking about its supermassive black hole.
>M87 is roughly 24 billion miles across,
M87 is 132,000 light years across.
M87’s central supermassive black hole is 24 bilion miles across.
An easy mistake for AI to make.
God, voyager 1 is so sick. Its incredible that even on this gigantic scale we have a small piece of engineering that makes it feel not quite as overwhelmingly large
This image is wrong/misleading. Plutos orbit goes out as fas as 50 AU and Voyager 1 is at 165 AU.
I often wonder if the mass of black hole is actually way smaller than people think. All we see is the accreditation disc and where the gravitational pull drops off enough for light to escape. That’s it. There is no way to know for sure if that mass is the size of Mars or a Mars Bar
As a Finnish author Veikko Huovinen said in his first novel: “In this space humans have the mandate of a pissant”.
Excuse me wtf……. Is this comment character limit for ignore the second sentence. Mods are rainbow.
