Blackhole
A black hole is a region of the universe so dense, it traps stuff in it forever
Formation
death of a large star. Stars are kind of big fireballs and just like fire needs to burn so do stars. Normally as a star starts to burn its fuel, it creates a sort of a push that counters the force of gravity pushing in towards the star's center. Eventually the fuel runs out. When this happens in a large enough star, the force of gravity makes the entire star implode. It collapses in on itself and creates a incredibly dense region known as a black hole Scientists believe that our milky way contains millions of black holes which were created this way
Formation II
Another way scientists think that Black holes can from is through the collection of matter at the center of a galaxy.When billions of tons of dust and other matter get together in a middle of a galaxy it can collapse in on itself to make a enormously large black hole.
Gravitational pull
nothing can escape their enormous gravitational pull and they are invisible even too light so you can not see them.
event horizon
a edge on the black hole it is like the point of no return. it is the boundary for a black hole beyond which nothing can ever escape, once its sucked in. No one has ever seen a event horizon.
Hypothesis of what goes on inside the Black hole
Physicists think its pretty likely that some weird things go on in there. humans would get ripped into individual atoms in no time.
Space-time
Universe is measured in something called a space-time. Scientists say that space-time is like the never-ending fabric on our universe. According to Albert Einstein's theory of relatively, the fabric isn't just flat-it bends around objects. The more massive the object is the stronger the force of gravity is, and the more space-time is bent.
