Detailed explanation-1: -A typical stellar-class of black hole has a mass between about 3 and 10 solar masses. Supermassive black holes exist in the center of most galaxies, including our own Milky Way Galaxy. They are astonishingly heavy, with masses ranging from millions to billions of solar masses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Currently the largest known black hole, powering the quasar TON 618, has a mass of 66 billion solar masses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Astronomers believe that supermassive black holes lie at the center of virtually all large galaxies, even our own Milky Way. Astronomers can detect them by watching for their effects on nearby stars and gas.

Detailed explanation-4: -After the supermassive black holes, the video culminates with a look at ultramassive black holes. And yes, that is a technical term. As “perhaps the largest single bodies that will ever exist, ‘’ ultramassive black holes put all other black holes to shame.
