    mystery of the black holes and how they were created goes way back to when astronomers first discovered them. The astronaut said “he saw a blob of black matter and black holes are made when a star burns out or explodes but the astronaut never truly saw the actual thing. Black holes absorb light particles that are close enough to it so that it can thrive and continue. When a black hole goes away the light that it absorbed is turned into a new star. When an astronomer found a black sphere shaped cloud

    Black Holes A black hole is a region of spacetime and it has strong gravitational that affects nothing. Nothing can escape from inside it such as particles nor light radiation. General relativity predicts that a compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole. The point of no escape is called the event horizon. The event horizon has an enormous affect on the fate and circumference of an object crossing it. Black holes reflect no light. When it meets a star it consumes it and turns into a colorful

    there is one object that stands to elude scientists still, the black hole. Albert Einstein, and all the brilliant scientists after his, help to design and create a part of the universe that’s very crucial to understanding existence. The perimeters of a black hole have been a great this that has been discussed and observed to the point where it eventually becomes clear as its compared to objects around or like it. The physics of the black holes existence is still unclear for it shows properties that support

    Black Holes: Warping Spacetime   A black hole is one of the most fantastic things ever predicted by modern science. It is a place where gravity is so strong that nothing --not even light-- can escape. It is a place where gravity is so strong that a hole has been rent in the very fabric of space and time. Surrounding this yawning chasm is a 'horizon' in the geometry of space where time itself stands still. And inside this hole, beyond this horizon, the directions of space and time are

    that of the black hole that contains interviews by Omar Almaini, Ed Copeland, Tony Padilla, Meghan Gray and Mike Merrifield from the University of Nottingham. The video began by a man revealing to his audience that he is often questioned about his personal opinion on black holes, which he informs us that “of course” he sees them as frightening and intimidating but goes on to refer to them as “cuddly”. Upon further explanation he points out two small (but different sized), round, black balls of fabric

    Stellar Black Holes While gobbling up light and matter, a stellar black hole can also help hold a galaxy together. The gravitational pull of a stellar black holes is so strong that even light itself cannot escape it. Even though black holes can be dangerous, they can also be helpful. Stellar black holes are the result of a star reaching the end of its life and then collapses upon itself. A stellar black hole is formed when a gianormous star collapses upon itself. When a stellar black hole forms, a

Contrary to popular belief, black holes are not empty holes in space, but rather a massive amount of matter packed into a small area. The graphic to the right shows the simulated view of a black hole in front of a Large Magellanic Cloud. The theory of these black holes was conceived in Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

    can happen in space is a black hole. A black hole can almost be described as a vacuum. It is a spot in space where gravity is constantly pulling materials into it. The gravity is so strong that light is not even able to escape from the black hole. The reason why the gravity of a black hole is so strong is because all of its matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This happens when a star starts to die. People cannot see black holes because light cannot escape. Black holes are invisible in space
