Let’s dive into the extraordinary!

Hi, I find the universe absolutely fascinating! Here I’m going to tell you a few cool facts about the universe

There are 4 types of black holes.

-The smallest are called primordial holes

-Then come stellar black holes

-Then supermassive black holes

-And the largest ones are called ultramassive black holes.

Primordial black holes are a couple of kilometers in diameter. For example, if our Sun would become a black hole, it would be a primordial black hole and it would be about the size of Paris!

Some stellar black holes can get up to the size of countries. They usually form from yellow dwarfs and hypergiants. Yellow dwarfs are small stars, but they still can reach up to size of UY Scuti which has enough space to fit 5 billion Suns. Most of them can live more than 10 billion years. Hypergiants are huge swelling balls of Hydrogen and Helium. They swell up so much that their gravity becomes too intense until the point where they collapse on themselves. Most of them live more than a 100 million years.

Supermassive black holes formed in the early universe. They are ginormous! For example Sagittarius A* is one of them. Most of the black holes that are known belong to this category.

Now the ultramassive black holes. They are most likely formed from Quasi stars, the largest stars known to human kind! Here are three of the largest black holes ever discovered: Phoenix A*, TON 618*, Holmberg 15A* . Can you imagine that Phoenix A* is about a hundred billion solarmasses and that light takes two weeks to reach the singularity from TON 618*!?! TON 618* is about 62 billion solarmasses and Holmberg 15A* is about 18 billion solarmasses and has it’s own supermassive black hole orbiting around it! Fascinating, isn’t it?
