  1. There's even speculation that the hypothesized Planet Nine in the outer reaches of our solar system is actually a primordial black hole. Assuming recent estimations of 4.4 to 6.2 times the mass of the Earth, such a black hole would be anywhere from roughly three to four inches in diameter.

    Of course, time will tell if there actually is something out there, be it a planet or a black hole. But personally, I do hope for the latter, because we would then have a tremendous opportunity to study one up close and test certain hypotheses that we have about black holes, such as spaghettification, accretion disks, the bending of light around it, etc. Send a few probes to intercept it, some equipped with powerful lamps to shine a light on it, and then record the data, take pictures, and beam the results back to Earth.
