I've recently seen a lot of coverage about supermassive black holes, and their 
existance at the centre of most galaxies. 

What would be the smallest size of black hole that could form in nature, (I'm 
assuming you would measure the size from the event horizon?), and how massive 
would it be in comparison to our sun?

Thanks
