Black holes are cataloged as one of the most amazing astronomical phenomena of the stellar world. Here we will know a little about this phenomenon:

Black holes are one of the great mysteries of the universe.

The simplest way to define a black hole is to say that it is a region of space where the attraction of gravity is so intense that light can not escape from its interior.

***Black holes are named because they are invisible. The only way to detect them is to observe the behavior of the gas and the stars that are in its surroundings, as explained by NASA. ** For example **: observing the movement of a star, scientists can deduce if there is a black hole in its vicinity. When a star orbits near these stars, high-energy light (such as X-rays) is produced, which scientists can detect from Earth or from space***

How is a black hole formed?

The black hole is formed when two neutron stars collide with each other, and become smaller stars. In the center of these small stars there is a large amount of gases that mix and produce radiation that acts as a kind of gravity force and absorbs everything that is around it and places it in an unknown space.

Types of black holes.

#Mini black holes: Formed in the beginning of the creation of the universe. #Super massive: They are made up of billions of stars. #Estelares: Formed by the collapse of stars.!

Curiosities of black holes:

✹ Black holes are smaller than I think.

✹ If a person (astronaut) comes to fall into a black hole, his dead would be instantaneous.

✹ The black hole closest to Earth is called Cygnus X-1.

✹ The massive gravitational influence of a black hole distorts space and time in the nearby neighborhood. The closer you get to a black hole, the time runs slower.

✹ The number of black holes could be even greater than the number of visible stars, accounting for a total of about one hundred billion only in our Galaxy.
