    1) Black holes are regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. They form when massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle. 2) Despite being invisible, black holes can be detected through their interaction with nearby matter and light. Accretion disks of matter falling into black holes give off electromagnetic radiation. 3) Observational evidence indicates that supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies and that stellar black holes exist in binary systems. In 2016, the first direct detection of gravitational waves from merging black holes was achieved.

    The key takeaways are that black holes are regions of spacetime with extremely strong gravity that nothing, not even light, can escape from. They form when massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle and can continue growing by absorbing surrounding matter and merging with other black holes.

    Black holes have an event horizon boundary beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape. They act as ideal black bodies that reflect no light and emit Hawking radiation with a temperature inversely proportional to their mass.

    Black holes of stellar mass are expected to form when very massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle. After forming, black holes can continue growing by absorbing mass from their surroundings and merging with other black holes.

    General statement
    A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such
    strong gravitational effects that nothing—not
    even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape
    from inside it.[1] The theory of general relativity predicts that a
    sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black
    hole.[2][3] The boundary of the region from which no escape is possible is
    called the event horizon. Although the event horizon has an enormous
    effect on the fate and circumstances of an object crossing it, no locally
    detectable features appear to be observed.[4] In many ways a black hole
    acts like an ideal black body, as it reflects no
    light.[5][6] Moreover, quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts
    that event horizons emit Hawking radiation, with the same spectrum as a
    black body of a temperature inversely proportional to its mass. This
    temperature is on the order of billionths of a kelvin for black holes of
    stellar mass, making it essentially impossible to observe
    • Objects whose gravitational fields are too strong for light to
    escape were first considered in the 18th century by John
    Michell and Pierre-Simon Laplace. The first modern solution of
    general relativity that would characterize a black hole was found
    by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916, although its interpretation as a
    region of space from which nothing can escape was first published
    by David Finkelstein in 1958. Black holes were long considered a
    mathematical curiosity; it was during the 1960s that theoretical
    work showed they were a generic prediction of general relativity.
    The discovery of neutron stars sparked interest in gravitationally
    collapsed compact objects as a possible astrophysical reality.
    Squenced of explanation
    • Black holes of stellar mass are expected to form
    when very massive stars collapse at the end of
    their life cycle. After a black hole has formed, it
    can continue to grow by absorbing mass from its
    surroundings. By absorbing other stars and
    merging with other black holes, supermassive
    black holes of millions of solar masses (M☉) may
    form. There is general consensus that
    supermassive black holes exist in the centers of
    most galaxies.
    • Despite its invisible interior, the presence of a black
    hole can be inferred through its interaction with other
    matter and with electromagnetic radiation such as
    visible light. Matter that falls onto a black hole can
    form an external accretion disk heated by friction,
    forming some of the brightest objects in the universe.
    If there are other stars orbiting a black hole, their
    orbits can be used to determine the black hole's mass
    and location. Such observations can be used to exclude
    possible alternatives such as neutron stars. In this way,
    astronomers have identified numerous stellar black
    hole candidates in binary systems, and established that
    the radio source known as Sagittarius A*, at the core of
    our own Milky Way galaxy, contains a supermassive
    black hole of about 4.3 million solar masses.
    Closing
    • On 11 February 2016, the LIGO collaboration
    announced the first observation of
    gravitational waves; because these waves
    were generated from a black hole merger it
    was the first ever direct detection of a binary
    black hole merger. On 15 June 2016, a second
    detection of a gravitational wave event from
    colliding black holes was announced.
