      Called "unicorn" because we weren't detecting black holes of about 3 times the mass of the Sun and we weren't sure if it was our fault or they weren't there for some reason… Finally this one was found 😄

      Have yet to see any good evidence to actually support it's size claim after the initial paper on it. Don't know why it suddenly gained popularity and why everyone is claiming ut to be the largest black hole when TON 618 has a lot more evidence to back up it's claim for the throne.

      Think of it this was: it takes light 10 billion years to travel from TON 618 to earth. Even if it were to move in our direction it would take waaay longer than that to reach us. Also, considering that the universe is expanding it probably steadily moves away from us and might not ever come into contact with our milky way. But before all of this could happen, our sun will burn out anyway.

    TON-618 is 66 billion solar masses as we speak. It can most likely comfortably fit at least 9 to 11 solar systems inside. TON-618 is the 2nd largest blackhole in the universe, 1st place with Pheniox-A. Pheniox-A can be described as 1.5 or 2 times the mass of TON-618. This means Pheniox-A is comfortably 99 billion to 132 billion solar masses. This means Pheniox-A can comfortably fit 12 to 18 solar systems or maybe even more. Blackholes are widely massive and can be noticed through:
    A stronger gravitational pull

    Technically speaking the largest "black hole" might be physically microscopic. The only thing we can measure are the effects of the mass, we cannot gauge the physical scale of the object. It could be a grain of rice that has gravitational properties so dense that light years of scale are just blacked out, but the object is absolutely tiny, or has ripped through space and time and exists elsewhere.
    This is the idea that each black hole is a big bang happening in a new cosmic tear in space.
