What is the biggest black hole?
The largest confirmed black hole inhabits the core of M87, a giant elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo. The M87 black hole appears to be about 6.6 billion times the mass of the Sun, with a diameter of about 25 billion miles (40 billion km) -- more than four times the diameter of the orbit of Neptune, the most-distant planet in our solar system.
