Black Holes

Nearly all galaxies have super-massive black holes. They have an enormous gravitational pull because there is so much mass concentrated into them, making it impossible for nearby objects to escape their gravitational pull, not even light. They're formed due to large stars collapsing on themselves, kicking off a chain reaction, and as the star shrinks, the gravitational pull on the surface becomes more. The star collapses further due to the pressure, increasing gravity, eventually forming a black hole. Read to know more about these 'dark stars'.
  • What are the After-effects of a Black Hole?
    Our universe is very vast and we always look at the objects in the universe in wonder. However, a black hole is an object in space, which cannot be seen, but grabs our attention. Here's some information on the after-effects of a black hole.
  • Black Holes
    See what black holes really are, how do they come into existence and why they are known as such, from this article.
  • What is a Black Hole
    Something in the space gulps whatever comes into its way. Is that a black hole? But what is a black hole? Though scientists have answer to this question, the evidences are very few to justify it. Let's explore more about the mystery of a black hole.
  • Black Holes in Space
    A black hole is a region, where the gravitational pull is so strong that even light cannot escape from it. This celestial object is formed at the end of a star's life cycle. There are many interesting facts regarding black holes in space.
  • Facts About Black Holes
    So dense that even light becomes helpless in front of the mammoth gravitational pull of this amazing region of space called the black hole! This is a compilation of some intriguing facts about black holes. Explore...
  • Getting Into Black Holes
    Black holes are the issue of very much interest, but still many questions are unanswered. Many scientists like Einstein, Galileo, Newton, Stefan hawking etc., have studied and tried their own theories. The most accepted theory is Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, satisfies the basic gravitational phenomenon about black holes.
  • Black (really black) Holes
    Recently the famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawkings hinted that his theory on black holes might have to be revised. Though for most of us, the more obvious revisions are, 'what exactly is a black hole?' and 'why is there so much interest in them?'
