Black holes differ in mass and spin
Supermassive Black Hole Caught Doing Something Never Seen Before
Sgr A*, at the heart of the Milky Way and clocking in at 4.3 million solar masses, is the closest supermassive black hole we have access to. It's also on the quiescent end of the activity scale, which means we have a front row seat to small-scale black hole behavior that would be too faint to see were it taking place in another galaxy.
