To safely orbit this thing, our planet would have to be 2,692,764,000,000,000,000 km away from it. As compared to 149,598,000 km from our sun.

It would look cool, except being black holes, there's no light so it technically doesn't look like anything. Though at 18 billion times the mass of Sol, that's an awful lot of nothing.
