Organizing and summarizing search results for youThe diameter of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole is around 14.6 million miles (23.5 million kilometers). This is tiny compared to the Milky Way itself, which is 100,000 light-years wide and 1,000 light-years thick. The central massive object of the Milky Way is a supermassive black hole of about 4 million solar masses, which is called Sagittarius A*. The Milky Way has 100 million stellar-mass black holes, with 90 million having less than 30 times the mass of the sun and 10 million having 30 times the mass of the sun or more. - See moreSee all on Wikipedia
