Black Holes

Thursday, 5 September 2019

Black Holes are one of the worst regions in space. Many astronauts fear to go to outer space because of these obstacles. A black hole is a strong field of gravitation next to a line named as the Event Horizon. A black hole is one of the stages of a star lifecycle – as the star gets older it swells into a gigantic star known as a red giant that is so huge that it is even a million times bigger than the sun. Then one day it suddenly explodes and this is called as a Supernova. Matter will be thrown away for millions of miles to a very, very strong gravitational field and after some time the dust and gas will gather to build a black hole.

But small stars such as the sun do not follow this sequence. Anything that goes or even touches the event horizon is pulled into the black hole. No one knows what happens to anyone or anything that goes inside the black hole. But scientists have predicted that anything or anyone who goes in to a black hole will be pulled until they are pulled apart into two. This is named as being ‘spaghettified’.
