Supermassive black holes lie at the center of all large galaxies, including the Milky Way. The new animation dropped by NASA shows 10 supermassive black holes, lurking at the center of their host galaxies, scaled by the sizes of their shadows. The clip also features a black hole in the Milky Way galaxy. Starting from the Sun, the video clip steadily zooms out to compare the sizes of black holes to different objects in the solar system.
