In this path the star collapses on itself even more. In this scenario, it becomes so dense that nothing can escape it; not even light. What forms in this scenario is what is known as a black hole (Moore 57). To escape the gravitational pull of a black hole would take something moving faster than the speed of light. Since even light is sucked into the black hole; there is no way for us to actually see the black hole.
Once a black hole is formed, it turns into one of the scariest and deadliest things in the Universe. A black hole has such a huge gravitational pull that it literally starts eating other stars that are around it. When stars get sucked into the gravitational pull of a black hole; the black hole starts sucking the gas out of the stars and pulling it towards the black hole at very fast speeds. When this gas gets sucked into the black hole it starts to accelerate to very fast speeds. This gas forms what is called the accretion disk around the black hole; which is at the center of the disk. In turn, the gas heats up to about one hundred million degrees Celsius. When the gas gets this hot it starts emitting X-ray beams. This is one way that we can detect black holes. Space probes orbiting the Earth take survey of X-rays and once they are found; we investigate the source of the beams (Whitney 43). This process destroys stars by taking away all their gas over a period of millions, if not billions of years. These two bodies are orbiting each other as the black hole takes away the gas from the star. Since a black hole is not visible to the human eye; it takes a lot to figure out exactly how big a black hole actually is. The way astronomers figure it out is by measuring the Doppler shift of the star. The larger the Doppler shift, the faster it is moving therefore the harder the black hole is pulling on it. If the black hole is pulling on it really hard, that means that it must have a very large gravitational pull; therefore, it is a bigger black hole (Pickover 82).
A black hole is a place where the curvature is so strong that a black hole is formed. ... The black hole's is surrounded by the event horizon whose size depends on the mass of the black hole. ... This is how black holes are detected. ... Works Cited "Black Holes." ... "Black Holes." ...
BLACK HOLES What happens if you fall into a black hole? ... But what exactly is a black hole? ... In 1973 Stephen Hawking started investigating black holes and found that black holes are not completely black. ... Black Holes: The End of the Universe? ...

Not any star can become a Black Hole. ... The theory of black hole evaporation seems to be a popular theory on how black holes die. Black holes emit radiation, and the energy to emit this radiation comes from the black hole's mass, therefore shrinking the black hole. ... A white hole is the exact opposite of a black hole. ... Since a white hole is a time reversal of a black hole, creating one is impossible (as destroying a black hole is impossible). ...
That mystery happens to be that of the ever elusive, black hole. ... The black hole's surface is known as the event horizon. ... A spherically symmetric black hole with a point electric charge has the same essential features as a rotating black hole. ... In order to understand what exactly a black hole is, we must first take a look at the basis for the cause of a black hole. ... Such spinning black holes are known as Kerr black holes. ...

On December 3, 1995, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope identified a black hole in the galaxy NGC 4621, located 100 million light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Virgo. This is the second super-massive black hole that astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescop...
Black Holes: before, now and forever If the theory of their existence is true, black holes are the most influential force in the known physical universe. ... This is why a black hole's are black. ... Therefore the black hole is seen as a void in space. Black holes have a pertinent effect on time. ... Similarly a black hole is also thought of as a singularity. ...
