Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape their pull. They form when massive stars collapse under their own gravity at the end of their life cycle. The point of no return around a black hole is called the event horizon, beyond which nothing can escape. Despite being invisible, black holes can be detected by observing their effect on nearby matter, such as the way they warp space and pull in surrounding stars, gas, and dust. Black holes are key objects in astrophysical research and offer insights into the nature of gravity and spacetime.
