Explained for Everyone
Black holes are one of the most fascinating and misunderstood objects in the universe. Here's a simple way to understand what they are — and why they matter.
Understanding the Cosmos
What is a Black Hole?
A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape it — not even light. They are formed when massive stars collapse under their own gravity.
Simple Analogy
Think of space like a stretched fabric. A black hole is what happens when something extremely heavy presses so hard that everything nearby falls in.
