Black holes are like a bottomless pit in space. They are so powerful that they gobble up anything that gets too close, like stars, planets, and even light! Formed when massive stars collapse under their own gravity, black holes possess an event horizon, beyond which nothing can escape. This mysterious boundary conceals the singularity, a point of infinite density where the laws of physics break down. Scientists study black holes to understand the fundamental principles of the universe, revealing the profound connection between space, time, and gravity.
