Intermediate mass black holes

The next step up is black holes that are thousands of times as massive as the Sun. Many objects may fit this category, but only a few have been confirmed.

	Name	Distance	Mass
	G1 52,000-86,000 miles (84,000-138,000 km), roughly equivalent to the diameter of Jupiter	2.3 million light-years away near the Andromeda galaxy (M31)	14,000 to 23,000 solar masses
	M15 Diameter roughly the size of Mars to the size of Earth	34 light-years away in the constellation Pegasus	Approximately 1500 to 3,000 solar masses
	M74 Diameter about 37,000 miles (60,000 km), a bit larger than the planet Uranus	32 million light-years away in the constellation Pisces	10,000 solar masses
	M82 X-1 Diameter equal to the size of Mars	11 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major	Approximately 1,000 solar masses
