BASIC INFO
TON 618 is an exceptionally luminous quasar located in the constellation of Canes Venatici. It is one of the most distant known quasars, situated approximately 10.37 billion light-years away from Earth. At its core lies a supermassive black hole with a staggering mass estimated to be around 66 billion times that of the Sun. Emitting vast amounts of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, particularly in ultraviolet radiation, TON 618 provides valuable insights into the early universe, galaxy formation, and the behavior of supermassive black holes.
