Black holes are extremely fascinating to those that love science and astronomy. While black holes are an extremely powerful force in the universe, there is still plenty to be known about this phenomenon. While most of us learn about black holes watching sci-fi movies, TV shows, books, etc black hole science is continuing much needed research to understand this force of nature better.
The Black Hole Phenomenon
Black holes get their name by having an incredibly strong gravitational pull. In fact, there pull is so strong nothing can escape its grasp- not even light. This is why when you look at a black hole out in space, it is pitch black and void of any light. In theory, black holes are dying stars that have run out of energy to continue burning naturally. Instead of being able to push energy out, the energy actually falls back onto the star causing it to implode. As it implodes, it builds up density- becoming more and more dense, the gravitation pull becomes stronger and stronger and hence a black hole is formed.
