Assume a neutron star has a mass of about 1.2 times the mass of the Sun and a radius of 7 kilometers.
What would be the mass of a Black Hole that has a diameter of 1 cm? Compare it to the mass of Mount Everest (about 5 x 1010 kg).
When a mass is transferred through the inner Lagrangian point in a binary system toward a white dwarf, the material forms a rapidly growing whirlpool of material known as a(n)
