    theories helped predict that black holes actually occupy the universe vastly (Wiki authors). Because black holes are virtually invisible to the human eye, since not even light can escape their clutches, it is hard to understand something that can’t be seen or even assume it exists. Though the concept of black holes can be traced back to 1795, to Pierre Simon Laplace, who originally proposed the idea. It was Karl Schwarzchild to be the first to start proving black holes exist from the research of

    There are two types of black holes that exist in our universe. The first one being the Schwarzschild black hole which happens to be the simplest one of the two. This black hole is considered the simplest because its core does not rotate which means the black hole is completely stable at all times of the day. The next black hole is the Kerr black hole, which happens to be the most common in nature. This black hole in contrast to the Schwarzschild black hole does indeed rotate. When the rotating star

    Black Holes A simple star with low fuel turns into a strong, powerful black hole in space with 4 times more mass than the sun. Discovered in 1916 by Albert Einstein, a black hole is an area of space-time showing very strong effects, that nothing can escape from the black hole. Space-time is the belief that there is no time in space, so there is no aging or time whatsoever. There are three different types of black holes. Stellar-mass, supermassive, and intermediate.

    A black hole is remnant of a former star which has gone past its lifetime. They are one of the/if not the most mysterious phenomena that has ever existed in the universe. Black Holes are formed when massive stars, about 20 times the mass of our sun run out of fuel and nuclear fusion cannot take place. The gravity cause the star to collapse into itself and explode releasing a lot of gas and particles out into space. When stars explode this way, it’s called a supernova. In younger stars the nuclear

    Black holes are strange because we can not see them because they have such a strong gravitational pull light can 't escape from. They can rip anything apart. Black Holes form when a star dies and collapses in on itself. They are usually relatively small and really dense. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area - think of a star ten times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere approximately the diameter of New York City. In the milky way their are a few hundred

    If theories of their existence are true, black holes are the most powerful force in the known physical universe. Many people are familiar with the term black hole, but few people actually know anything about them. A black hole forms as a result of a massive star running out of fuel to burn (Chaisson, 193). Once the star is no longer exerting outward force by burning off gases, it begins to collapse under it’s own intense, inward gravity (Chaisson, 193). It is like slowly letting the air out of a
