There are three types: stellar black holes, supermassive black holes and intermediate black holes.

Black holes can form when stars collapse in on themselves after death. They keep growing by eating the dust and gas around them. No one’s really sure how the biggest ones, called supermassive black holes, are born.

While black holes are most definitely real, they have theoretical opposites called white holes which would endlessly spew matter into the universe.

Some equations suggest that every black hole contains a universe which would mean our universe is inside a black hole right now.

A particle accelerator is a machine that uses electromagnetic  to propel charged particles to nearly light speed and to contain them in well-defined beams. Large accelerators are best known for their use in particle physics  as colliders.

The remaining core collapses into a singularity — a spot of infinite density and almost no volume. That’s another name for a black hole.

You approach it at the speed of light, the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time.

The reason it is called a "black" hole is because it sucks up all the light that hits its border and reflects nothing.

Black holes are mysterious and deadly  but none are close to Earth. Some millions the size of our Sun, some the size smaller than a peanut that can devour a planet.

Scientists wonder if the Earth in any imminent danger of getting swallowed? The answer is no, astronomers say, although there is probably a huge supermassive black hole lurking in the middle of our galaxy. Luckily, we’re nowhere near this monster — we are about two-thirds of the way out from the center, relative to the rest of our galaxy — but we can certainly observe its effects from afar. For example: the European Space Agency says it’s four million times the size of our Sun and that it’s surrounded by surprisingly hot gas.

Say you have a star that’s about 20 times more massive than the Sun. Our Sun is going to end its life quietly; when its nuclear fuel burns out, it’ll slowly fade into a white dwarf. That’s not the case for far more massive stars. When those monsters run out of fuel, gravity will overwhelm the natural pressure the star maintains to keep its shape stable. When the pressure from nuclear reactions collapses, according to the Space Telescope Science Institute, gravity violently overwhelms and collapses the core and other layers are flung into space. This is called a supernova. The remaining core collapses into a singularity — a spot of infinite density and almost no volume. That’s another name for a black hole.

You approach it at the speed of light, the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time. Light is distorted because of the strong gravitational pull, because of the distortion, at some point the distortion would allow you to see the back of your head for a short period of time, and let you see EVERYTHING that ever was ever pulled into the black hole.

The atoms in the black hole are so packed together. If the Earth suddenly turned into a black hole, it would shrink to the size of a peanut with the equivalent mass of the Earth. You also cannot "see" a black hole, but you can see the effects around it, light cannot escape it, making it pitch black.
