    collapse upon itself to form a black hole. This is mostly dependent on the density of the star. When massive stars, those twenty times the mass of our Sun or more die, they must either exhaust all of their excess mass or implode upon themselves and form black holes. Gravity overwhelms even the nuclear forces. The gravitational force becomes so strong that nothing can escape it, even photons of light, hence the name "black" hole. It is believed that large black holes may exist at the center of our

    Black holes are celestial bodies so dense and strong that nothing can escape their pull. The idea of black holes is generally referred to the French mathematician, Pierre Simon Laplace. In 1796, Laplace who was studying the subject of escape velocity; this is the speed that something must be accelerated to in order to prevent being pulled back by the gravity of a larger body. For example, to escape the Earth’s gravitational pull we must accelerate our rockets to over 11 kilometers per second. If

    Professor Wilson Research Paper English 4th hour 21 August 2015 Black Hole Black holes are in theory incredible frightening. One of the main reasons they are so monstrous is that they are one of the only thing in the universe able to trap light. The second reason they are so terrifying is that when you are being pulled into one you will be on a one way ticket train to emptiness. Therefor if there was a way to get out of a black hole what would it be? Then also if there was no way out what would it

    Did you know that black holes are invisible? “A black hole is a region in space where the pulling force of gravity is so strong that light is not able to escape.” (Dunbar) Even though there are special telescopes that help see black holes they are still shrouded in mystery. There are several mysteries about black holes but some things we know are how they are formed, why large stars collapse onto themselves to create black holes, and how they grow. Stellar black holes are formed from certain dying

    Black Holes This paper will introduce you to the incredible topic which is black holes. A black hole is a region of space time exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing can escape from inside it. (NASA) No human has ever entered a black hole and there is still a large mystery about them; we have very little idea of where the matter that enters them goes. A black hole cannot be looked into either, as it sucks all the light into the middle of it. Space programs use special satellites

    the naked eye and can make any of the things I mentioned, disappear. That thing is called a black hole. I am studying black holes because I want to find out how they affect us now and in the future, in order to help my reader understand I will explain how a black hole works, which will be useful to understanding how they can be used for space travel and how they are in the center of every galaxy. Black holes are the mystery of our cosmological universe. They have been baffling even the greatest scientists

    The Myth Of Black Holes

    • 734 Words
    • 3 Pages

    For years black holes have been the work of science fiction, but a new development says that black holes are not just a mere myth, but that they lurk in the darkness in space. Black holes do exist because we have observed them, scientists have tested them, and they are remnants of giant stars. Black holes are a section of space where the mass of several billion of our sun's (depending on the size of the star) is crushed into a very small section. This causes the gravity to be so strong, even light

    causes black holes? This is one of the cool facts you will learn about black holes. This paper will discuss black holes, and how black holes form, what a black hole is, and how long they last. Cyrus X-1- is one of the first black hole candidates to be discovered. It is born by a bright young star in the atmosphere. It is a double star system, with a massive brilliant young star orbiting a compact object. A compact object has a mass of 807 times our sun. Such a massive object can only be a black hole

    mysteries of black holes are always unknown as to where they’re from, who discovered them and why are they so mysterious. Black holes have been around for centuries. They have been in the galaxy for over millions of years. Black holes are known as one of the strangest mysteries that’s existed. A black hole is a part of space that pulls so much gravity into it that not even light can escape from it. So where did black holes come to the existence in our lifetime? Mysteries of black holes always unknown

    Black holes are an interesting phenomenon, but if they get close enough to Earth, Earth would be gone in a matter of seconds. We know that they use a strong gravitational pull, but where does the matter go? How are they formed? How do we know they even exist? Black holes are formed by an interesting phenomenon. When stars collapse on themselves, they create what we know as black holes. This collapse can cause a giant supernova, which can blast a part of the star into space. This largest black holes
