When we say “supermassive black holes,” just how do they measure up?

Using their shadows for size, we’ve rounded up 10 black holes and compared them to objects in our solar system. Don’t worry – these black holes are many light-years away: https://go.nasa.gov/3HIcDeW #BlackHoleWeek

Our #BlackHoleWeek event is on the horizon. 🕳️

Join our May 5 @TwitterSpaces to learn from experts as they talk about black holes, including the one at the center of our galaxy. #AskNASA your questions and they might be answered live. https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1eaKbrOqoeeKX

Two tools installed on the outside of the @Space_Station@twitter.com, NICER and MAXI, have worked in tandem to advance our knowledge of black holes. They study X-ray light emitted in the hot, energetic environments near black holes. #BlackHoleWeek
