There is a black hole that is so gigantic, that it is larger than even the largest stars, larger than the maximum distance of our solar system, and larger than even most supermassive black holes out there. Its mass is so high, it is more massive than even a whole galaxy(Even adding the mass of dark matter won't do you justice). This thing is a black hole known as Phoenix A, and it has a mass of 100,000,000,000(100 Billion) times the Sun's mass. And has a diameter of 590.5 Billion km(366.9 Billion Miles) or the average distance from the sun to Pluto 50x over. And to make this more terrifying, it is still growing.

I hope it's a safe distance away from Earth. I've got enough to worry about as it is.

Largest by mass or by volume?

Don't worry, it is roughly 5-8 billion light years away from us. For all we know, it might not exist anymore.

At least you don't have to worry about it sneaking up on you or hiding in the bushes.
