Black holes: they are one of the most fascinating types of holes in outer space. They’re extremely dense, with such strong gravitational attraction, the hole is located in the space where gravity pulls so much that even the light can’t get out from it. Albert Einstein first predicted the existence of black holes in 1916, with his general theory of relativity. The term “black hole” was coined many years later in 1967 by American astronomer John Wheeler. A big thank you and applause goes to Katie Bouman, the first person to ever manage to obtain a photograph of a Black Hole. showing a halo of dust and gas 500 million trillion km from Earth. The result was the "realisation of an endeavour previously thought impossible, but was made possible.”
Black holes don't go around in space, destroying stars, planets, etc. It is highly unlikely that a Blackhole would destroy Earth. Earth and the other planets would orbit the black hole as they also would orbit the sun now. A study says that scientists think the smallest black holes already existed when the universe began. A supernova is an exploding star that blasts part of the star into space, if the star has enough mass, it will collapse on itself down to a very small size. Due to its small size and large amount of mass, the gravity will be so strong it will absorb light and become a black hole. Scientists think that supermassive black holes were made at the same time as the galaxy they occupy. Small black holes are thought to form when a giant, dying star collapses, leaving some corpses that are so dense that not even light can escape their gravitational pull. According to Stephen Hawking, small black holes should lose mass in the form of radiation and ultimately evaporate. Stellar black holes form when the center of a very massive star collapses in upon itself. This collapse also causes a supernova, or an exploding star, that blasts part of the sun into space. Study says that supermassive black holes were formed at the same time as the galaxy they are in
No one has ever been in a Blackhole, black holes are way too far to pull in any matter from our solar system, but scientists have observed black holes ripping stars apart, a process that releases a tremendous amount of energy. But if anyone goes into the black hole, they are theorized to die a slow death by evaporation, emitting energy known as the Hawking Radiation, but then again, no one has ever been directly detected by a black hole. Beyond the event–horizon is an area of such immense gravity that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. Black Holes usually form at the end of a star’s life. The energy that held the star together disappears and it collapses in on itself producing a magnificent explosion.
It's thought that the matter that goes into a black hole gets crushed into a tiny point at the center called a "singularity." That’s the only place that matter is, so if you were to fall into a Blackhole you wouldn't hit a surface as you would with any other type of matter. Once it’s there, it’s there forever.
During winter in the Southern Hemisphere, a blue point of light in the constellation Telescopium gleams overhead. The brilliant pinprick on the sky, which looks like a bright star, is two stars in close orbit, accompanied by the nearest known black hole. If Earth goes into a black hole, the same gravitational effects that produced spaghettification will start to take effect here. The edge of the Earth closest to the black hole would feel a much stronger force than the far side. As such, the doom of the entire planet would be at hand. We would be pulled apart. Black holes have gravitational fields so strong that even light cannot escape, so they are defined by a shell of a black, featureless sphere called an event horizon. But the holes can nevertheless be seen. As they consume matter that strays too close, they squeeze it into a superheated disk of glowing gas. You wouldn't be able to see it directly, as it's enshrouded in gas and dust. However, you can see how the black hole's gravity bends and warps rays of light around it, creating a visual imprint in the surrounding material called the black hole's shadow.
