Phoenix A*

BASIC INFO

Phoenix A* is a supermassive black hole located at the center of the Phoenix Cluster, one of the most massive galaxy clusters known, situated about 5.7 billion light-years from Earth. This black hole is particularly notable for its extraordinary mass, estimated to be around 100 billion times that of the Sun, making it one of the largest black holes ever discovered. Phoenix A* is also remarkable for its high rate of material consumption, as it actively feeds on the surrounding gas and dust, driving powerful jets and producing vast amounts of energy.

ADVANCED INFO

Size: 367 billion miles across

Mass: 100 billion solar masses

Galaxy: Phoenix Galaxy Cluster (Not a galaxy, a cluster of galaxies)

Age: Most likely 13.7 billion years old

Type: Supermassive-Ultramassive

SOME RANDOM FACTS

This is the most massive black hole ever discovered.
The Phoenix Cluster is known as a "cooling flow cluster," where the central regions cool quickly, leading to high rates of star formation. Phoenix A* plays a crucial role in influencing these processes.
Phoenix A* is actively consuming large amounts of material from its surroundings, making it one of the most rapidly accreting black holes observed.
