How Big Is the Largest Black Hole in the Universe?

How big is the largest black hole in the universe? In this relaxing Sleepy Space documentary, we'll journey beyond familiar astronomy and explore the incredible scale of supermassive black holes like TON 618. Discover how scientists measure black holes, why some are larger than entire planetary systems, how quasars become the brightest objects in the cosmos, and what these cosmic giants reveal about the history of galaxies and the evolution of the universe. This documentary combines established astrophysics with carefully presented scientific hypotheses. Where scientific consensus exists, we explain the evidence. Where questions remain open, we explore the leading ideas without presenting speculation as fact.
