TON 618

It may not look much, the white/blue object in the centre, and you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a small star in our Milky Way, but there are giants, and then there is TON 618.

It's not a star of course, only one thing can become so big, a supermassive blackhole.

To put this into perspective, stellar black holes that result when a very large mass star collapses usually end up somewhere between 3 and 10 times the mass of our sun, and while that may not seem too impressive, all that mass is crushed into an object just 40-50miles in diameter, while our sun is around 860,000 miles in diameter.

Supermassive black holes are far far larger, Sagittarius A* the Milky Ways central back hole is estimated to be around 4 million solar masses, and yet, is just 27.3 million miles in diameter. So if that black hole was at the centre of our solar system, it wouldn't even reach the orbit of Mercury.

The supermassive black hole at the centre of M87 which in 2019 was the first black hole to be imaged is thought to be 6.5 billion solar masses, and have a diameter of 24 billion miles, taking it so far out, even past Voyager 1 current position.

M87 black hole is the largest mass object in our local area of the galaxy, but ... there's larger.

Ton 618 (yes, that little white/blue star) is thankfully 10.6 billion light years away, which explains it's apparent small size, but in reality it's suggested to be around 66 billion times the mass of our sun. The black hole is classified as a very active quasar, a supermassive black hole consuming vast quantity of matter and with an accretion disk so large, the entire thing outshines the galaxy itself, which is too dim to be currently viewed from Earth.

If this object was 32 light years from us, it would significantly brighter than the sun, in fact, it's one of the brightest objects known to science.

It's fair to say, Ton 618 is so large, some astronomers have taken to re-classifying it as an ultra massive black hole.

Astronomy isn't just looking at stars, it's understanding the size and power of the universe around you, it's knowing things about the reality of everything which can give you an appreciation for the largest and the smallest of things, it's to give context to the journey each one of us face, for this tiny brief point of insignificant time in our little speck of dust circling one of 100 billion stars in a galaxy that's just one of 2 trillion galaxies (and that's just the ones we think we know about).
