If the sun was replaced with the Messier 87 (M87) Supermassive Black Hole, how long would it take for the Earth to orbit around it one time? The distance between the Earth and the Black Hole will be the same as the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

This just showed up a little early. The theme... black hole. No lighting of any kind. I'm calling it Messier 87. The chassis is the Motif Monument, and this sucker is hefty.

Astronomers announce the crescent shadow of Messier 87's supermassive black hole is wobbling. Back in April 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope captured the crescent shadow of the black hole, making it the first image ever taken of a black hole.

PSA: Messier 87, home galaxy of the black hole in the picture, is up this time of year and is relatively bright for a deep sky object.
Just a heads up, It's up for most of the night, but I'm not sure if it is visible in the southern hemisphere. It's also a galaxy, so even though it is relatively bright for a DSO, it might be hard to spot depending on your scope.
