Black whole

A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing—not even light—can escape from it.

Here are the key points:
• Formation: Most black holes form when very massive stars run out of fuel, collapse under their own gravity, and explode in a supernova.
• Event Horizon: The “point of no return.” Once anything crosses this invisible boundary, it cannot escape.
• Singularity: At the very center lies the singularity—a point where matter is compressed into infinite density and gravity is infinitely strong (according to current physics).
• Types:
• Stellar-mass black holes (formed from collapsing stars).
• Supermassive black holes (millions to billions of times the Sun’s mass, found at galaxy centers like Sagittarius A* in the Milky Way).
• Intermediate black holes (possible, but harder to detect).
• Primordial black holes (hypothetical, formed right after the Big Bang).
• Detection: We can’t see black holes directly, but we detect them by their effects on nearby stars, gas, or light. For example, material falling in forms an accretion disk that glows very hot.
• Recent Milestone: In 2019, astronomers released the first-ever image of a black hole (in the galaxy M87) using the Event Horizon Telescope.

👉 Would you like me to explain how a black hole can “bend time” and distort space (spacetime), or should I keep it simple and visual?
