A black hole is a region of space with such strong gravity not even light can escape.

Black holes are intriguing astronomical objects that have a gravitational pull so strong that it prevents any object and even light from escaping. While black holes have been the topic of numerous astrophysical studies, their origins and underlying physics remain largely a mystery.
Falling into the event horizon of a black hole may mean certain death, but
Labour criticises a dossier released by the Conservatives that adds up how much their spending commitments would cost.
Glimpse of galactic merger, via James Webb telescope, may explain presence of monster black holesA pair of black holes has been observed colliding in the ancient universe for the first time. The observations, by the James Webb Space Telescope, reveal a merger of two galaxies and the monster black holes at their centres when the universe was just 740m years old, about a 20th of its current age.The discovery that massive mergers appear to have been common in the infant universe could help explain...
Now you can dive into the event horizon—a black hole's point of no return—without, y'know, being spaghettified. (Seriously, that's what it's called!) NASA created a supercomputer visualization of the plunge into a black hole; video below. "People often ask about this, and simulating these difficult-to-imagine processes helps me connect the mathematics of relativity to actual consequences in the real universe," said Jeremy Schnittman, an astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in...

These objects came together just 740 million years after the dawn of the universe.
Physicists consider black holes one of the most mysterious objects that exist. Ironically, they’re also considered one of the simplest. For years, physicists like me have been looking to prove that black holes are more complex than they seem. And a newly approved European space mission called LISA will help us with this hunt. Research from the 1970s suggests that you can comprehensively describe a black hole using only three physical attributes – their mass, charge and spin. All the other...
