WANNA EXPLORE THE RIVETING WORLD OF BLACK HOLES?? Then you must read!!!

If you are a space explorer and wondering what a black hole is? then you have come to the right place.

WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE?

A black hole is a celestial body in space that has a tremendous gravitational field that light cannot escape through it. if compared with earth's gravitational field it is near about some thousand times or million times greater and that is the reason why it is known as a black hole, It behaves similar to a black body.

HOW BLACK HOLES ARE FORMED?

when a supermassive star has less thermonuclear fuel to feed itself at its core, it starts swallowing itself and at a certain point, its outer layer gets blown away into different parts in space. This explosion is known as a Supernova. So the death of a massive star gives rise to the formation of a black hole.

HOW DOES A BLACK HOLE LOOK LIKE?

So you must have thought that such supermassive black holes are easy to identify and can be seen from billions of light-years away.

But this doesn't work that way. The black holes are so much black in colour that you cant notice them even if you are standing in front of it. (well it's impossible to stand in front of it).

HOW SCIENTISTS DETERMINE BLACK HOLES?

The high gravity of the black hole has the capability of absorbing outer gases these gases form a ring around it (like Saturns ring) This ring is known as an accretion disk.

The orbiting of a star near a black hole gives rise to high energy light due to which they can be clearly seen with the help of scientific devices.

• Black holes have an extremely high gravitational pull, this gravitational energy attracts other stars to revolve around the black hole, so the star rotates in the orbit of a black hole. This movement of orbiting stars helps the scientists to determine the exact location of black holes.
  

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMETHING GETS INTO THE BLACK HOLE?

Well, this is a mystery, no one knows what happens inside the black hole but the study of physical forces says when something gets into it a lot of forces acts on that body and it is converted into a point, that is if you get into the black hole you will be crunched down into the size of cells and your mass will become the part of the black hole thus increasing the mass of the black hole.
