Comparisons of large and small black holes in galaxy OJ 287 to the Solar System. A supermassive black hole (SMBH) is an extremely large black hole, on the order of hundreds of thousands to billions of solar masses (M ☉), and is theorized to exist in the center of almost all massive galaxies.
A black hole of this mass has a Schwarzschild radius of 1,300 AU (about 390 billion km or 0.04 ly in diameter) which is more than 40 times the distance from Neptune to the Sun.
