Black Holes
What is a Black Hole?
A Black Hole is a region of space that is so incredibly dense that not even light can escape from the surface.
Black Holes are mistaken sometimes, because they don’t have any greater gravitational reach than any other star of the same mass.
How are Black Holes formed?
Black Holes are formed when large main sequence stars run out of nuclear fuel in their cores. Types of Black Holes are Stellar Mass Black Holes- Roughly up to a few times the mass of our sun, Super massive Black Holes- Black Holes with masses millions or billions times the mass of sun , and Micro Black Holes- Black Holes with extremely small masses, as small as 20 micrograms. Super massive Black Holes are mostly found in the cores of most galaxies.
Other information about Black Holes..
Super massive Black Holes are mostly found in the cores of most galaxies. A Black Hole is just a little bit more than 1,600 light years away from earth.
Black Holes have 3 main layers: The outer event horizon, the inner event horizon, and the Singularity which is the center of a black hole. The biggest black holes are 10 billion times the size of our sun. The 2 biggest black holes are 300 million light years away from earth. If you look in a telescope and see a black hole any kind of object that tries to move through it will freeze or slow down. There are 14 known black holes. Black holes can suck up other black holes if they get close enough. Because Black Holes are so small, distant, and dark they can not be directly seen. Black Holes are a great amount of matter packed into a very small area - kind of like stars 10 times the size of our sun squeezed into a sphere the diameter of New York City. Black Holes do not live forever - it depends on their size on how long they will live. The smaller ones won’t last as long. Black Holes admit x-ray radiation and get smaller and smaller until they disappear or evaporate.
