Considering that the Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*, is only about five million solar masses, then that would likely have a devastating effect on the entire local group of galaxies.
Pluto’s orbit is really eccentric, but it’s usually about 5.5 light hours from the sun. My understanding is that the central core would form a new black hole quite quickly and most of the mass outside the event horizon would be drawn into a tight orbit, being accelerated to near-light speed and be ejected as relativistic jets from the ‘poles’ of the new black hole.
It would be an exciting few days, for sure. Not that ‘days’ would have much meaning when what remains of the earth make an orbit every few seconds.
