What Is a Black Hole?

A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. It forms when massive stars collapse or when dense matter compresses into an infinitely small point called a singularity.

Types of Black Holes

โญ Stellar Black Holes
Collapse of massive stars after supernova explosions.
Size: 5โ€“50 solar masses.
๐ŸŒŒ Intermediate Black Holes
Rare and mysterious โ€” may form from merging stellar black holes.
Size: 100โ€“10,000 solar masses.
๐Ÿช Supermassive Black Holes
Found at the center of most galaxies โ€” including our Milky Way.
Millions to billions of solar masses.
โšช Primordial Black Holes
Hypothetical โ€” formed right after the Big Bang, possibly smaller than atoms.
Not yet confirmed.
