    Size comparison of the event horizons of the black holes of TON 618 and Phoenix A.The orbit of Neptune (white oval) is included for comparison. As a quasar, TON 618 is believed to be the active galactic nucleus at the center of a galaxy, the engine of which is a supermassive black hole feeding on intensely hot gas and matter in an accretion disc.

    Given the age of the universe and the composition of available matter, there is simply not enough time to grow black holes larger than this mass. The limit is only 5 × 10 10 M ☉ for black holes with typical properties, but can reach 2.7 × 10 11 M ☉ at maximal prograde spin (a = 1). [a] SDSS J123132.37+013814.1: 1.12 +0.28 −0.23 × 10 11 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOSS_Great_Wall

    The question of whether the supercluster complex is moving together or being slowly separated by the expanding universe is a key factor to this discussion. [2] Nevertheless, when compared to several other chain structures, such as the Sloan Great Wall , the BOSS Great Wall's superclusters are far richer, containing more dense, high stellar mass ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability

    [j] Subsequent successful experiments reveal that half-lives and cross sections indeed decrease with increasing atomic number, resulting in the synthesis of only a few short-lived atoms of the heaviest elements in each experiment; [55] as of 2022, the highest reported cross section for a superheavy nuclide near the island of stability is for ...
